Ozark Integrated Circuits Inc.

Ozark Integrated Circuits Inc. is a small business specializing in the development of custom analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, microelectronics, sensing systems, and electronic control systems for extreme environments. The company provides innovative solutions to federal agencies through contracts and grants, focusing on high-temperature applications and ruggedized electronics. Ozark's expertise lies in creating specialized microelectronics capable of operating in harsh conditions, such as those encountered in space exploration, hypersonic systems, directed energy weapons, and nuclear energy research. Their services encompass the design, fabrication, and packaging of integrated circuits and electronic systems that can withstand extreme temperatures, radiation, and other challenging environmental factors.

Through federal contract awards, Ozark Integrated Circuits has delivered a wide range of advanced technologies to various defense and civilian agencies. For the Department of Defense, including DARPA, Air Force Research Laboratory, and Missile Defense Agency, the company has developed high-temperature instrumentation for hypersonic engine advancement, high-fidelity analog integration techniques, and packaging methods for reliable high-temperature electronics. NASA has contracted Ozark for projects such as extreme environment system integration for Venus in-situ processing, high-temperature motor control electronics for Venus rock sampling drills, and additively manufactured materials for Venus surface operations. Many of these contracts are awarded under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, with set-asides for small businesses. Ozark has also worked as a subcontractor on projects involving wind speed sensors for planetary science applications and high-temperature SiC characterization, collaborating with prime contractors such as Sporian Microsystems, Inc. and BAE Systems Information And Electronic Systems Integration Inc.

Ozark Integrated Circuits has received several federal grant awards from the Department of Energy's Office of Science, primarily focused on developing high-temperature electronics for energy-related applications. These projects include creating a high-temperature flow rate instrument for geothermal reservoir monitoring, developing electronics for low-cost, in-line impurity monitoring in salt-cooled reactors, and designing high-temperature electronics for real-time, in-line monitoring of molten salt reduction and oxidation (redox). These grants, awarded under the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program, typically span one to three years and aim to advance state-of-the-art harsh environment electronics capabilities essential for next-generation energy production and utilization technologies. Through these grants, Ozark Integrated Circuits contributes to the development of critical instrumentation solutions for monitoring and improving various energy systems operating in extreme conditions.

Ozark Integrated Circuits, Inc. (founded in 2011) uses advanced semiconductors and electronic packaging to deliver best-in-class analog & mixed-signal solutions for remote sensing and actuation under extreme environment conditions. This includes the development of the XNode product lines which are single-board, rugged computing modules that include one or more integrated functions designed to operate in extreme environments to provide data acquisition, actuation, closed loop control, or communications. Built upon years of experience in integrated circuit design, embedded programming, advanced electronic packaging, and integration, the XNode provides the extreme environment computing solution.

In addition to development of our own product line, Ozark IC uses our experience in IC design, advanced packaging, and environmental and characterization testing to provide support services to commercial and defense partners.

Ozark IC has CMMC Status Final Level 2 (C3PAO).
