Microchip acquires maker of radiation-hardened chips
Original: Some chips are built to withstand radiation and extreme heat. Microchip bought their maker.
Microchip Technology has bought a company that specialises in chips designed to survive radiation and extreme heat. These ruggedised components are used in satellites, spacecraft and other demanding environments where ordinary semiconductors fail. The deal strengthens Microchip's position in the niche but strategically important market for space-grade and high-reliability electronics.
Why now: The acquisition signals growing commercial interest in space and defence-grade semiconductor technology.
