Pyramid Semiconductor was formed in January 2003 through the acquisition of all the product lines from Performance Semiconductor. These product lines included the MIL-STD-1750A Processor family and the complete family of SRAMs previously offered by Performance Semiconductor. All products previously supported by Performance Semiconductor are being supported now by Pyramid Semiconductor. The Pyramid Semiconductor part numbering scheme is identical to the part numbers previously used by Performance Semiconductor.
Since its inception, Pyramid Semiconductor has expanded both product lines to include additional products and has added products in the EEPROM arena as well. The markets addressed by Pyramid Semiconductor include both Military and Commercial markets, and products are offered across Commercial, Industrial and Military Temperature ranges. The management of Pyramid Semiconductor has extensive experience in the various technologies and manufacturing requirements of these product lines.
The Products:
The MIL-STD-1750A Processors from Pyramid Semiconductor are used in the Military market in a significant number of Military and Space applications which include:
Flight Control Systems
Navigation
Communications
ECM
Weapons Control
Command and Control Display Systems
Ground Support and Test Systems
Applications of the above systems exist aboard Spacecraft, Satellites, Launch Vehicles, Aircraft, Ships, Ground Vehicles and Submarines.
The MIL-STD-1750A Processors are field-proven and have been used reliably by Military users for more than 20 years.
Complementing the MIL-STD-1750A Processors is a complete SRAM family from 1K to 4 Meg densities for the Military market. Additionally, the SRAMs are offered in Plastic packages for the Commercial and Industrial markets.
A family of EEPROMS is now being supported by Pyramid Semiconductor for the Military and Commercial marketplace.
