Ridgetop is certified as category 1A under the Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA) as part of the Trusted Supplier Program. Ridgetop has history of designing analog and mixed signal ICs for demanding applications in space satellites that are subjected to extreme temperatures and radiation. Our designs have utilized bulk CMOS, CMOS-SOI, and SiGe at process geometries down to 28 nm channel lengths. Radiation hardness is also a concern, and Ridgetop has addressed those requirements as well. A recent Ridgetop design was delivered to ON Semiconductor for the U.S. Air Force STELLAR Star Tracker.
Under contract to NASA, Ridgetop designed an effective 3-axis wireless acceleration and temperature sensor for use in a helicopter gearbox system. The initial implementation was designed to detect wear and damage in the helicopter gearbox. This innovative smart sensor design was later commercialized under the Sentinel Motion product line, and is packaged as an Internet-of-Things (IoT) smart sensor, RotoSense™.
