Honeywell Develops Analog Silicon Chip

Honeywell introduced a high temperature Silicon On Insulator electronic component with dual applications in the aerospace (in aircraft engines) and oil industries. “The aerospace and oil and natural gas industries each require high performance components that operate over wide temperature ranges,” said Brian Link, Business Director, Honeywell Defense and Space. “Honeywell’s Silicon On Insulator technology is critical for instrumentation and sensor measurements in these environments. The circuits can operate continuously under extreme conditions, and enable instrumentation for measuring parameters such as temperature, vibration, pressure, positioning, inclination and strain.
