About

Rad hard silicon diodes

Infineon’s portfolio of HiRel silicon diodes can be used for circuit protection, voltage clamping, high-level detecting and mixing, current-controlled RF resistor for RF attenuators, and switches. They are ESA ESCC5010 qualified and designed for applications in space and aerospace industries. 

Rad hard silicon diodes quality levels

Infineon’s range of rad hard, high-reliability diodes are available in two different quality levels:

  • Professional (P): Designed for breadboards and circuit evaluation (engineering modules)
  • ESCC qualified (ES): Fulfills the requirements of European Space Agency (flight modules)
IR HiRel’s decades-long space heritage

For over 75 years, IR HiRel has been a trusted partner in space exploration, providing high-reliability memory, power, and RF solutions that have enabled groundbreaking missions.

From the farthest reaches of our solar system to low Earth orbit, our technology has played a critical role in advancing our understanding of the universe.
