Legacy Avionics & Military System heritage make DEI ASICs a natural choice for drone applications

DEI standard and custom aerospace grade ASICs for drones are a critical backbone of aircraft data communications, enabling standardized, unidirectional point-to-point links across numerous onboard systems. In civil, commercial, and military aviation, these components ensure that electronic subsystems can communicate accurately and reliably.

Common ASIC applications include:

  • Flight Management Systems (FMS): Ensure seamless communication between GPS, navigation databases, and autopilot modules.
  • Electronic Flight Instrument Systems (EFIS): Transmit real-time flight data to flight computer and FPGAs for situational awareness.
  • Engine/Motor Monitoring Systems: Enable consistent and accurate sensor readings to Flight computer, FPGAs and data loggers.
  • Maintenance and Diagnostics: Facilitate health monitoring and diagnostics through built-in test equipment (BITE) communications.

Whether integrating legacy equipment or developing new-generation drone systems, our drone ASIC solutions ensure dependable drone performance.
