Infineon's radiation-hardened HiRel power semiconductors have been successfully used in NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, operating at the critical L2 orbit requiring highly reliable power technology for a decade-long mission without maintenance. The technology portfolio includes MIL-PRF qualified rad-hard power MOSFETs and GaN transistors that enable efficiency and weight savings vital for space applications.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Space mission founders building hardware for extreme environments can now benchmark their designs against Infineon's decade-proven rad-hard power components. This opens a route to qualify your technology for long-term, no-service space missions by focusing on radiation-resistant semiconductor design.
