Capabilities

Security Without Compromise

Classified Firmware Support

Programming infrastructure designed for classified and controlled firmware loading. Secure facilities, controlled access, and comprehensive audit trails meet the requirements of defense contractors and government agencies.

Anti-Tamper Key Injection

Inject cryptographic keys and anti-tamper configurations at the point of manufacture. Ensure device integrity from factory to field deployment in hostile environments.

Full Chain of Custody

Complete documentation from programming through deployment. Component-level traceability, job auditing, and serialization records support DoD supply chain integrity requirements.

FPGA Programming

Program AMD/Xilinx, Intel/Altera, and Microchip/Microsemi FPGAs with configuration bitstreams. Critical for defense electronics where FPGAs are the silicon of choice for reconfigurable systems.

Counterfeit Prevention

Silicon authentication and secure element programming prevent counterfeit components from entering defense supply chains. Verify device authenticity before programming.

Long-Term Support

Defense programs span decades. Data I/O provides long-term device support, backward compatibility, and sustained engineering support for programs with multi-decade lifecycles.

Device Families

Defense-Grade Silicon

FPGAs are the silicon of choice for defense electronics — reconfigurable, field-updateable, and available in radiation-hardened variants. Data I/O programs all major FPGA families plus MCUs and security ICs used in military and aerospace applications.
