Technology Without Boundaries
Space-Proven. Earth-Tested.
While our technology is built for orbit, its capabilities extend far beyond it. The same high-reliability designs that power spacecraft also serve terrestrial domains where durability and precision are critical — from defense and robotics to industrial automation and advanced research. Our approach is simple: if it performs in space, it performs anywhere.

Mitigating radiation effects in FPGAs
The TMR VHDL Library makes it easy to add Triple Modular Redundancy to your FPGA designs. By triplicating critical logic and using a voter circuit, it protects against faults from Single Event Effects. With a simple USE_TMR switch, you can turn redundancy on or off, speeding up development while ensuring your IP can be industrial- or space-grade ready.
