ASICs from Austria ensure you have a safe flight

TTTech’s reliable partner for more than 20 years: ams OSRAM, a global leader in innovative light and sensor solutions. The company supplies TTTech with an exclusive, customer-specific product referred to as the TTP Controller ASIC, i.e. the electronic circuit that forms the hardware basis for the failsafe TTP data bus. The ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) has already been manufactured by ams OSRAM in Premstaetten, Styria, Austria’s second largest federal state, for well over 20 years. In times of disrupted supply chains, being able to rely on obtaining components from Central Europe over such a long period of time is a major benefit. To date, commercial airliners such as the Airbus A220 have already completed more than 2 billion flight hours with the TTP ASIC.

In aviation, it’s essential to ensure reliable communication between a control system’s electronic components even under challenging real-time conditions. TTP achieves just this: it effectively prevents single faults in data transmission, that usually are uncritical on their own, but could add up and then lead to truly critical situations such as the failure of entire control systems. 

As a reliable partner, ams OSRAM actively supports TTTech in maintaining its competitive strength and driving innovation. ams OSRAM succeeds in this thanks to its outstanding light and sensor technologies, fulfilling the stringent quality requirements in the high-tech sector as well as certification requirements with flying colors. For the production of ASICs for Aviation, these include certification in accordance with the IATF 16949 automotive standard, the AEC-Q100 standard (Failure Mechanism Based Stress Test Qualification For Integrated Circuits AEC – Q101), as well as aviation-specific requirements. How? Through the smart combination of engineering excellence and global manufacturing capabilities with a passion for cutting-edge innovation. ams OSRAM realizes these goals through its clear commitment to industrial production in Central Europe, as is impressively demonstrated by the current expansion of production at the company’s headquarters in Premstaetten, Austria. The geographic proximity between development at TTTech and production at ams OSRAM is also a major benefit, enabling short response times and securing the continuation of a successful partnership in years to come.
