It is reported that Microsemi Corporation’s SoC Product Group achieved the certification of new, stringent AS9100 Rev C quality system requirements in aviation, space, and defense area.

AS9100 is a new revision which contains an increased focus on risk management, supplier management controls, on-time delivery, and product conformity measurements. In addition, it will take proper measures against vendors as planned results are not realized.

Microsemi has more than 20 years experience of flight-proven reliability. It can provide low-power FPGAs which based on flash and antifuse for use in aerospace and avionics applications. The company was announced as the first field programmable gate array (FPGA) supplier to achieve AS9100 Rev C certification.

The SoC group also achieved IS0 9001: 2008 certifications for meeting rigorous quality management standards (QMS) for systems and processes. The quality audits were conducted by NSF International Strategic Registrations, Ltd., who is a leading company in management systems registrations for clients over the world.

"We strive to ensure the highest quality products, processes, and quality management systems by proactively achieving key certifications, which aligns with our commitment to continuous improvement in all areas of operations," said Lisa Konigsberg, director of quality for Microsemi SoC Products Group. "In addition, achieving or exceeding the tighter customer satisfaction requirements in AS9100 Rev C allows us to offer an added level of quality assurance to our customers, and further solidify our reputation as a trusted and proven provider of highly reliable and secure products."

The AS9100 Rev C standard was developed by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) to satisfy internal, government, and regulatory requirements. IAQG intends to improve product performance and on-time delivery of products. This is accomplished through the cooperative implementation of initiatives intended to make significant improvements in quality and reductions in cost throughout the value stream.

The ISO 9001:2008 certification is an international standard which defines good management practices. It offers a global standard that spells out quality and trust. In order to meet its requirements, an organization must demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products that meet applicable regulatory requirements and satisfy customer needs.

Micosemi’s SoC Product Group also has certifications of PURE, STACK, QML MIL-PRF-38535 (Classes Q and N), and is a Sony Green Partner. The related integrated circuit is 0997002.
