Aerospace & Defense

Yes. NFR's wafer processing and semiconductor packaging services are U.S.-based and designed to provide responsive engineering collaboration, faster turnaround, and domestic supply-chain options for programs where those considerations matter.

Yes. NFR designs ASICs that combine mixed-signal, RF, power management, and high-voltage functions. Integrating these into one device can reduce component count, board area, and power consumption.

Yes. NFR can redesign the function of obsolete or end-of-life components into a custom ASIC, often integrating surrounding circuitry at the same time. This helps sustain long-running aerospace and defense programs without repeated board redesigns.

Yes. As an ITAR-registered company, NFR supports ASIC design, electronics development, packaging, and test for programs that involve ITAR-controlled technical data. Project handling is defined around each program's export control requirements.

Yes. NFR designs RF and mixed-signal ASICs, including RF front-end controllers, power driver chips, and controller and biasing circuits for GaN and GaAs devices. These support radar, communications, and other RF-intensive aerospace and defense systems.

Both. NFR supports engineering prototypes, ground-tested hardware, and production deliveries. For ASICs, this includes foundry management, test (ATE) development, packaging, and delivery.

Yes. Beyond ASIC design, NFR supports PCB design and manufacturing, flip-chip substrates, chip packaging, module assembly, firmware, FPGA development, test hardware, and failure analysis. Customers can engage NFR for a single component or a complete system.

No. NFR's design and manufacturing are performed in the United States, so ASIC and electronics work for aerospace and defense programs stays under U.S. control from development through delivery.

Share your starting point, performance requirements, and development goals. NFR's engineering team will review the project and identify where it can contribute, whether that is a single chip, a board, or a complete system.

NFR performs ASIC characterization, verification, and validation in its in-house test lab, which includes an anechoic chamber for RF testing. Verification requirements are defined around the specific hardware and its intended use.

NFR supports aircraft and avionics, satellite and spacecraft applications, uncrewed aircraft, radar, communications, navigation, and ground-support equipment.

NFR designs custom analog, RF, digital, and mixed-signal ASICs for aerospace and defense programs. Support runs from concept through design, foundry management, pcb design and manufacturing, packaging, characterization, and production test, so a single team carries the chip from requirements to delivery.

NFR supports CMOS, SOI, SiGe, GaN, and GaAs technologies across process nodes from 14 nm to 0.5 µm, through long-standing foundry partnerships. Its focus area is mixed-signal CMOS at 180 nm, where a large internal IP library supports faster development cycles.

NFR's design and manufacturing are 100% based in the United States. ASIC design, PCB manufacturing, assembly, and test are performed by NFR's U.S. team in U.S. facilities.

U.S.-based design and manufacturing keeps controlled technical data and hardware within the United States, simplifies export control compliance, and supports supply chain security for defense programs. It also gives program teams direct access to the engineers working on their hardware.

A custom ASIC can replace obsolete or end-of-life parts, consolidate multiple ICs into one device, and reduce size, weight, and power. For programs with long lifecycles, it also gives the program a supply path it controls rather than depending on catalog parts that may be discontinued.
