New in Harsh Environment Products
NEW High Temperature Products High-temperature electronics lead to improvements in oil, gas and geothermal exploration
Texas Instruments recently introduced analog and power management devices for oil and gas exploration equipment that can withstand operating temperatures from -55 °C to +210 °C. These high temperature devices also help energy exploration companies drill deeper and in hotter environments, enabling them to potentially tap new energy sources such as geothermal energy.

NEW Enhanced Products (EP) Download the new enhanced product portfolio from Texas Instruments
TI's EP portfolio is certified to the Aerospace Qualified Electronic Component (AQEC) standard. This standard was jointly developed by the aerospace and semiconductor industries to define the minimum requirements for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components used in military, avionic and aerospace applications.

The EP portfolio is also suited for medical solutions and applications in harsh environments where high reliability and long service life are required.

New in Space Products
New in Space Silicon Space Technology Corporation and Texas Instruments enter into technology license agreement
Texas Instruments and Silicon Space Technology Corporation (SST) announced that they have entered into an exclusive technology license agreement for TI to use SST's Hardened By Isolation (HBI) technology. SST's HBI technology significantly improves the resistance of integrated circuits to the effects of high temperature and radiation.

"Results have been outstanding, with tests showing HBI technology to significantly improve the performance of CMOS ICs manufactured with it by improving the reliability of CMOS isolation that typically fails early in high-temperature or high-radiation applications," said James Salzman, director of technology, TI HiRel.
