Infineon Technologies AG is a global semiconductor leader in power systems and IoT. Infineon drives decarbonization and digitalization with its products and solutions. The company has around 58,600 employees worldwide and generated revenue of about €16.3 billion in the 2023 fiscal year (ending 30 September). Infineon is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ticker symbol: IFX) and in the USA on the OTCQX International over-the-counter market (ticker symbol: IFNNY).
“Microcontrollers are gaining fast acceptance in space applications due to their flexibility, small footprint, radiation performance and lower power consumption for secondary functions where a full-size FPGA would be exaggerated. We are pleased to support integrated as well as embedded QML certified boot solutions for VORAGO’s microcontrollers.”
– Helmut Puchner, VP Fellow Aerospace and Defense, Infineon Technologies
Infineon's radiation hardened, 2-Mbit Serial (SPI) F-RAM is a 2-Mbit nonvolatile memory employing an advanced ferroelectric process. F-RAM is nonvolatile and performs reads and writes similar to a RAM. It provides reliable data retention for 121 years at 85 °C while eliminating the complexities, overhead, and system-level reliability problems caused by serial flash, EEPROM, and other nonvolatile memories. Infineon’s F-RAM is employed in VORAGO’s VA41630 radiation hardened MCU.
The rad hard NOR flash, is the first in its family from Infineon, offering the highest performance, density, radiation, and single event effects (SEE) performance combination for space FPGA boot code and configuration image storage solutions for satellites. In 2025, Infineon + VORAGO will offer solutions based on the Infineon radiation hardened NOR flash coupled with next generation VORAGO MCUs.
