COLORADO SPRINGS , CO , August 28, 2006 - Aeroflex Colorado Springs, an Aeroflex Incorporated company, (NASDAQ:ARXX), announced today an addition to the RadHard Clock Family - the UT54ALVC2525 RadHard Clock Driver for satellite applications.

Aeroflex's UT54ALVC2525 RadHard Clock Driver is a low-voltage, minimum skew, one-to-eight clock driver that distributes a single clock to eight, high-drive, outputs with low skew across all eight outputs. The UT54ALVC2525 withstands total ionizing dose irradiation from100 krads(Si) to 300 krads(Si), or 1Mrads(Si) and is guaranteed to operate from 2.0V to 3.6V volts. The UT54ALVC2525 is available through a Standard Microcircuit Drawing (SMD) with QML Q and V qualification and is offered in a 14-lead ceramic flatpack.

"RadHard Clock Drivers are not new to the aerospace market" said Anthony Jordan, Director-Standard Products . " RadHard Clock Driver providers have announced reductions or even obsoleted their products in the last year; customers came to us requesting a drop-in compatible version of the industry standard 2525 RadHard Clock Driver."

"Aeroflex Colorado Springs continues to provide the satellite community with the digital logic solutions they need," continued Jordan. "The UT54ALVC2525 is drop-in compatible which means the customer does not have to redesign their board saving time and costs."

Future RadHard Clock solutions include faster products with extended I/O compatibility options like LVDS, and more flexible devices offering a wider range of multiplication and division settings.

The UT54ALVC2525 is $228.00 each for QML Q, 100 quantity. The QML Q and V compliant UT554ALVC2525 is available via a Standard Microcircuit Drawing (SMD) 5962-06233 in a 14-lead flatpack. Prototypes are available now with production units available 4Q06.
