1 Robust FPGA Supply Chain Assures Defense Industry Preparedness Military Embedded Magazine
June 2021
English In the world of defense-grade FPGA devices, solder column attachment is the weakest link in the assembly process. Today, 90% of America’s FPGA device makers rely on a single subcontractor to attach solder columns, creating a potential supply chain vulnerability. The problem can be solved by engaging multiple subcontractors already established throughout North America. Device makers just need to qualify these alternative subcontractors in order to assure sustainability and resiliency of the defense-grade FPGA supply. 1Mb
