A serious problem that affects many embedded systems today is the extremely short life-cycle of modern semiconductor products. System designers face a major hurdle in identifying components that will still be available for purchase throughout the life of their final product. Once in production, sustaining engineering teams are constantly trying to deal with the onslaught of end-of-life notices.
Innovasic Semiconductor is a leading provider of extended-life semiconductor solutions. With over 15 years in business, Innovasic provides microcontrollers, peripheral controllers, mixed signal devices, modules and reference designs that support the longest life-cycle requirements of both new and existing designs.
Supporting Your Legacy Systems
Innovasic Semiconductor has developed the capability to design drop-in replacements for most end of life integrated circuits – without access to the original design files. This allows us to re-create the functionality and pin-out of almost any existing IC – whether it is a standard part or ASIC, including digital, analog and mixed-signal devices. Innovasic is the leading provider of legacy drop-in replacement ICs – allowing you to leverage your legacy systems long after you receive an EOL notice.
Innovasic has been solving its customer's obsolescence problems for more than 6 years. The company has established itself as the leading supplier of extended life replacement ICs, enabling customers to continue to build existing products that rely on ICs discontinued by the original vendor. Innovasic has established a unique process and technology that allows us to rapidly design a pin-compatible and 100% fully function-compatible replacement for embedded microcontrollers and peripheral ICs.
We offer a selection of standard products that are field proven. If the product that you are looking for is not in our standard product list, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss your options for having us design a replacement for you.
Standard Products
We offer a selection of standard products that are in full production and are field proven. If the product that you are looking for is not in our standard product list, please contact us. We work closely with customers to create a roadmap of drop-in replacement products. We also provide a design and manufacturing service to customers needing ASIC replacements or other standard products not on our roadmap.
Analog & Mixed Signal Replacement ICs
In 2004, we added the in-house capability to design analog and mixed signal products including DACs and ADCs, PHYs, real-time clocks, crystal oscillators or phase lock loops. With several successful mixed signal drop-in replacement devices in full production today, we are continuing to expand our capability in this area. Whether you are looking for a second source, a drop-in replacement for a discontinued part or a custom mixed signal or analog ASIC, please contact us to discuss your needs.
Translations
Innovasic can solve the toughest translation problems. Translating a design from one foundry to another is a key to ending the obsolescence problem. Innovasic’s unique process can accomplish this successfully even if the original design data is incomplete or missing.
Upgrades
When we are designing a drop-in replacement, we have the opportunity to add upgrades or enhance performance. For example, we can take the opportunity to increase the clock speed, fix bugs, increase memory and address space or add peripherals. Contact us to discuss your needs.
