Innovasic Semiconductor

Innovasic produces silicon and software solutions for customers with long product life-cycles including industrial automation, transportation, instrumentation, automotive, and medical applications. The company supplies extended-life processors, peripherals, ASICs and mixed-signal devices for embedded communication and control.

Innovasic has established a world-class reputation for solving obsolescence problems by developing pin-compatible integrated circuits that have been discontinued by the original manufacturer. The company’s RapID Platform for Industrial Ethernet connectivity extends its commitment to long life-cycle products for customers developing Industrial Networking products.

History

Innovasic was founded in Albuquerque, NM in 1992 and has grown into a global supplier of electronic components. Originally established as a design services firm, Innovasic pioneered the FPGA and ASIC conversion business by developing novel approaches to achieve first pass success. Innovasic became a "go to" company whenever a particular conversion proved too hard or impossible for other companies. This dedication led to the development of the MILES™ (Managed IC Lifetime Extension System) development process in which ICs can be consistently and effectively reproduced with information in the public domain.As obsolescence issues became more prevalent, the MILES process was applied to develop replacements for discontinued integrated circuits from AMD, Intel, Zilog and others, and Innovasic’s product portfolio began to grow. Innovasic’s expertise in pin-compatible processors and communication devices emerged from this growth, and today this expertise serves as the foundation for the company’s current roadmap for extended life communications and control ICs.
