Integrated Circuit, Very High Speed (VHSIC)

 

  • Summary

Manufacturer:   Honeywell Inc.

Country of Origin: United States of America

Dimensions:
Overall: 3/8 in. tall x 2 1/2 in. wide x 1 1/2 in. deep (1 x 6.4 x 3.8cm)

Materials:
Various materials, possibly Silicon, Gallium Arsenide, Sapphire, ceramic or plastic package.

This is an example of an integrated circuit that was produced as a result of a U.S. Air Force sponsored program, ca. mid-1980s. The program was intended to produce circuits for aerospace applications, which both switched at high speeds and also were resistant to radiation, either cosmic as might be encountered by a satellite in space, or man-made as a result of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) from a nuclear explosion.
