Initial launch includes five MIL-TEMP devices, with the ability to extend across the full portfolio to support defense, aerospace, and extreme-environment applications
SAN DIEGO, CA: January 7th, 2026 Silanna Semiconductor, a global provider of high-performance mixed-signal solutions, today announced MIL-TEMP variants of its Plural platform of high-speed, low-power analog-to-digital converters (ADCs).
The initial launch includes five devices from across its portfolio that are now capable of operation at military-temperature grades to ensure guaranteed performance from −55°C to +125°C and enabling designers to deploy Silanna’s best-in-class pipeline converter technology in the most demanding environments, including aerospace, defense, radar, secure communications, unmanned systems, navigation, and ruggedized industrial systems.
The company’s initial five MIL-TEMP ADCs will span from 10- to 16-bit resolutions and sampling rates from 20 MSPS to 250 MSPS.
These devices represent the first wave of military-temperature-qualified products within Silanna’s broader converter roadmap. Silanna can make any ADC in its portfolio available as a military-temperature-grade variant, enabling defense OEMs to adopt a common converter architecture across multiple systems and deployment scenarios in support of customer program timelines and platform-level standardization.
The ability to supply MIL-TEMP variants across the entire portfolio also enables customers to gain architectural continuity, simplified qualification, and a secure supply path for multi-year and multi-program needs.
“Defense and aerospace designers require three things from their component suppliers: performance, reliability, and long-term availability,” said Patrick Moore, VP of Global Sales & Applications at Silanna Semiconductor. “We built the Plural Platform to serve mission-critical sensing and signal-chain systems, and extending the full operating range down to −55°C and up to +125°C was a natural next step. Because any Plural Platform converter can be supplied in these extended temperature grades, customers benefit from architectural continuity, streamlined qualification, and a secure supply path that supports multi-year, multi-program requirements.”
Silanna’s MIL-TEMP devices maintain the same pinout, performance architecture, and optional on-chip DSP features as the company’s commercial parts, enabling seamless reuse across aerospace and defense programs. The devices are supported by ruggedized screening flows, reliability testing options, and long-term availability commitments that match the lifecycle demands of mission-critical platforms.
Evaluation boards, samples, and customized MIL-TEMP variants are available immediately through Silanna’s Sales and Applications teams.

About Silanna Semiconductor
Silanna Semiconductor develops and manufactures best-in-class analog technologies. This includes the company’s first FirePower™ Laser Firing ICs with integrated power converter and laser driver on a single chip, and Plural™ ADCs the market’s most adaptable and affordable ADC data converters.
Data Converters:
Silanna Plural™ ADCs redefine data converter affordability and supply chain reliability by creating multiple, preconfigured SKUs from a proprietary chip design. Instead of hundreds of single-purpose ADCs, the Plural platform’s configurability dramatically increases production scale to lower prices, decrease time to market, and eliminate capacity constraints versus legacy ADCs.
Specialty Analog – Laser Drivers:
FirePower™ is the first high-performance laser driver design to integrate power, firing and fault sensing functions into a single chip. This frees up board space while delivering performance and cost savings to accelerate future laser and LiDAR innovation. FirePower™ technology enables finely adjusted power output and pulse width to ensure the highest level of precision and safety in a variety of devices.
