Scalable, High-Performance Processing Units for Extreme Environments


For over 30 years, we have delivered advanced, highly integrated aerospace and defense solutions designed for space, aviation, military and other demanding environments. Building on our proven portfolio, we now introduce the High-Performance Spaceflight Computing (HPSC) series of microprocessors—an innovation that brings exceptional processing power and reliability to critical systems. Along with our radiation-hardened (rad-hard) and radiation-tolerant (rad-tolerant) versions of commercial devices, such as the 8-bit AVR® microcontrollers (MCUs), Arm® Cortex® core-based MCUs and microprocessors (MPUs), and HPSC processors, our space computing portfolio reduces costs, accelerates time to market and elevates performance for essential applications.

Find the Right Solution for Your Design


Rad-Hard MCUs and MPUs

64-bit RISC-V® High-Performance Computing MPUs

The PIC64-HPSC series of 64-bit MPUs offers powerful, high-performance computing capabilities for complex and computationally intensive tasks in applications like spaceflight computing, AI, autonomous systems and real-time data processing.

Rad-Tolerant MCUs and MPUs

32-bit Arm® Cortex® MCUs and MPUs

Our 32-bit Arm Cortex-based MCUs provide balanced performance for control systems, data collection and general processing tasks. Our Arm Cortex-based MCUs and MPUs are robust against radiation effects, provide latch-up immunity and are suitable for embedded systems used in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and deep space that require computational power but with constraints on size, power consumption or complexity.

High-Reliability MCUs and MPUs

32-bit LEON2-FT MPUs

Our robust 32-bit LEON2-FT MPU series is compliant with the SPARC V8 architecture, making it an excellent choice for mission-critical space applications. Designed to withstand high-radiation environments, these MPUs ensure continuous operation and data integrity. With advanced error detection and correction built-in, the LEON2-FT delivers dependable, resilient computing for spaceflight system.

8-bit AVR MCUs

Our 8-bit MCUs are designed for simple control tasks, especially for applications where cost and power efficiency are more critical than performance. They excel in low-level control and minimalistic systems that don’t require large memory or advanced processing. Robust against radiation effects and with very low power consumption, these 8-bit MCUs are great for spacecraft sensor monitoring, basic telemetry handling and power management.

64-bit High-Performance Spaceflight Computing (PIC64-HPSC) MPUs

The PIC64-HPSC series of high-performance, radiation-hardened and radiation-tolerant 64-bit microprocessors (MPUs) redefines the future of space computing. 

These devices offer unparalleled computing, networking and security capabilities for missions such as Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and deep space exploration.

Scalable Solutions for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Deep Space Missions


Leverage the features of the first Arm Cortex core-based MCUs that merge the cost-effectiveness and extensive ecosystem of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) technology with space-qualified versions. These MCUs offer flexible levels of radiation resilience, so you can prototype using a more affordable COTS device and later transition to a space-grade component, ultimately reducing both development time and costs.

SAMD21RT Radiation-Tolerant Arm Cortex-M0+ Based MCU

Our SAMD21RT is a radiation-tolerant, low-power, high-performance Arm Cortex-M0+ based Flash MCU.

This space-qualified version is an excellent choice for a wide range of applications with radiation immunity requirements.
