SAE International and JEDEC Solid State Technology Association have signed a Cooperation Agreement for microelectronic use in aviation, space, and defense.

The agreement formalizes a partnership between the two ANSI members in defining technical, reliability, and procurement standards to enable the use of microelectronics in the aviation, space, and defense sectors in a number of critical applications.

“Standardization for microelectronics is critical in enabling adoption and supporting robust, secure supply chains. The growing partnership between SAE International and JEDEC brings significant value to our industry and government stakeholders through the advancement of microelectronics standards,” said Anduin E. Touw, chair of the SAE committee. “The partnership between JEDEC and SAE International enables us to work through critical problems with government by having both suppliers and users at the table and allows us to create paths to insert newer technologies like flip chips, plastic and other packages, and BME caps into high reliability, critical military, avionics and space programs.”
