Results for tag: "Rugged IC"

The Rugged IC market is a subset of the larger Hardware market, focusing on integrated circuits (ICs) designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Rugged ICs are used in a variety of applications, such as military, aerospace, automotive, and industrial, where they must be able to withstand extreme temperatures, shock, vibration, and other environmental factors. Rugged ICs are typically designed with a higher level of reliability and durability than standard ICs, and are often used in mission-critical applications. Rugged ICs are typically more expensive than standard ICs, but the cost is often offset by their increased reliability and durability. As the demand for reliable and durable hardware increases, the Rugged IC market is expected to continue to grow. Some companies in the Rugged IC market include Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, Maxim Integrated, NXP Semiconductors, and STMicroelectronics. Show Less Read more
