High-temperature analogue silicon chip for aerospace

Article Type: Equipment and software From: Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology: An International Journal, Volume 80, Issue 5

Honeywell recently announced that its Aerospace business has unveiled a new high-temperature silicon on insulator electronic component with applications in the aerospace industry.

The chip can withstand high temperatures and be used in aircraft engines. It was designed and developed as part of Honeywell’s diverse suite of aerospace and industrial electronics.

“Aerospace requires high performance components that operate over wide temperature ranges”, said Brian Link, Business Director, Honeywell Defense and Space. “Honeywell’s Silicon On Insulator technology is critical for instrumentation and sensor measurements in these environments”. The dual precision chip will be used in high temperature zones on jet engines for instrumentation and control, as well as operating in temperatures up to 225°C.

Honeywell’s high-temperature electronics improve system reliability and help to reduce operators’ equipment downtime and weight.

The circuits can operate continuously under extreme conditions, and enable instrumentation for measuring parameters such as temperature, vibration, pressure, positioning, inclination and strain.

Honeywell’s new high-temperature dual precision operational chip model HTOP01 was developed with several industrial partners as part of the US Department of Energy’s Deep Trek Program.
