IDEAS develops custom IR front-end electronics systems based on proprietary, cutting-edge integrated circuits for infrared focal plane array readout and control. This enables compact, efficient, and high-performance imaging systems, tailored to specific customer needs. Our flagship infrared ASIC, Nirca MkII, developed under contract with the European Space Agency, is qualified for challenging environments and applications in both space- and terrestrial domains.
​
By integrating all essential readout and control functions into a single radiation-tolerant, European sourced chip, we enable significant system-level reductions in size, weight, power consumption, and design complexity—delivering robust, reliable performance for mission-critical applications where precision and resilience are paramount.​
