SST Concludes Testing of Temperature-Hardened Components [Professional Services Close - Up]


(Professional Services Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SST reported the successful testing of temperature-hardened components operating at 250C for more than 250 hours.

According to a release from the company, as testing continues to further demonstrate reliability, this achievement is a significant milestone for extreme environments where industrial- (<125C temp) or commercial- (<85C temp) designed parts are traditionally used - and the operating life for these types of parts decreases as temperatures increase. SST solutions operate at much higher temperatures while significantly increasing operating lifetimes - providing new oil & gas exploration opportunities and enabling on- engine control for greater fuel efficiency in industrial, aerospace and automotive applications.



A new temperature-hardened 18 Mb SRAM expands SST's portfolio which includes an 8 Mb and 16 Mb SRAM, as well as the first in a series of high-temperature ruggedized computing platforms - an ARM Cortex - M0-based processor. With these solutions, engineers are able to simplify system designs and set new standards for performance and reliability in harsh high-temperature environments.

"Operating temperatures in today's oil & gas, construction drilling and engine control applications often exceed 150C - 175C, and companies have to invest significant R&D to mitigate against temperature limitations of their electronics," said David Patterson, senior vice president of sales and marketing. "Our ruggedized computing solutions will enable these companies to operate reliably at temperatures above 200C without the costly R&D."
