DDC Space & Rad-Hard Pedigree

DDC, the leader for more than 50 years in high reliability motion control, power control, and data networking technology for the aerospace and defense industries, has provided space-qualified radiation tolerant solutions to the space industry for more than 30 years. DDC space-qualified products are field proven, compact solutions that meet space’s extreme environmental requirements, while reducing space, weight, and power consumption, along with total cost of ownership.

DDC develops radiation-tolerant by design and radiation-shielded products, including semiconductors and single-board computers. In satisfying customers’ needs to achieve the highest levels of reliability, DDC is fully qualified to build, test and qualify our hybrid circuits in accordance with MIL-PRF-38534 for all classes, including class H and K. Our Center of Excellence for Radiation Tolerant Microelectronics and Single Board Computers located in Poway, California is also qualified to MIL-PRF-38535 to support Class S, V, B and Q production. Additionally, DDC specializes in understanding the radiation performance of commercial semiconductors, qualifying selected components for use in space, integrating them with our proprietary radiation mitigation (RAD-PAK®) technologies, and manufacturing and screening our products in our DLA approved MIL-PRF-38534 and MIL-PRF-38535 facilities.
