Aerospace Semiconductor provides a variety of commercial aviation semiconductors and other electronic circuits to the suppliers of major commercial aircraft and business jet manufactures. Some of these companies are Boeing, Airbus, Gulfstream, Dassault, Bombardier, Embraer and others. Our components include transducer amplifiers, sensors, logic circuits, motor drivers, power conversion, controls and many other applications throughout the aircraft.

Some places our components can be found include:

• Cockpit Avionics – Today’s cockpits are packed with sophisticated electronics which are required to pilot a modern aircraft.  Size, weight, thermal performance and reliability are critically important in these applications.  Hybrids and customized semiconductor packaging from Aerospace Semiconductor can help avionics engineers create optimized solutions according to their unique requirements.
• Actuator Systems – Placing actuators and controls at the point of load or point of source can save weight from unnecessary cabling, piping or other power transfer components.  Such actuators must be controlled in a reliable manner, often with positive actuator confirmation, and redundant control circuitry and associated logic. Aerospace Semiconductor can help package such controls in a reliable, compact package giving component suppliers maximum flexibility for actuator placement and maximum capability for actuator control and confirmation.
• Power Conversion – Given the increased reliance on electronics and electrical controls within an aircraft, efficient, safe and reliable power conversion has become an important component of aircraft design.  Power conversion at the point of load allows designers to minimize unnecessary cabling and bus voltages.  Such circuits must be efficient however to minimize wasted power and excessive heat, and also safe and reliable so as not to create a flight hazard in critical systems.
• Cabin Management Systems – Today’s aircraft involve a variety of systems designed to improve passenger comfort such as cabin pressure and temperature control, in flight entertainment, lighting and other features.  Although these systems may not be critical for flight control, they must be light weight, reliable and they must not present any safety hazard to the flight.
• Engine Control Systems – Placing control systems on or near the engine can improve overall engine performance and efficiency.  However, such control electronics not only must be highly reliable, but must also be able to tolerate the high temperatures and other harsh environments common near jet engines.  Aerospace Semiconductor has significant experience designing and manufacturing electronics for such harsh environments.
• RF & microwave systems – RF communications, both inside and outside the aircraft is a growing area in aircraft design.  The design advantages of shielded packaging, and well controlled RF materials and wire lengths offered by hybrids can improve system performance and reduce EMI issues when designing RF systems for aircraft.
