Secure by design.
Fast by architecture.
Proprietary innovations on a RISC-V foundation deliver hardware security, optimised performance and resilience for high-end systems.
Cybersecurity
Modern processors face Transient Execution Attacks, silicon tampering and Hardware Trojans inserted during distributed design flows or third-party IP integration. Every IONION processor is equipped to mitigate these threats.

Complete protection against Transient Execution Attacks
Thanks to our verified proprietary technology, our processors are fully immune to Transient Execution Attacks such as Spectre and Meltdown.
Real-time Silicon Tampering and Hardware Trojan detection and response
Built-in mechanisms detect and respond to silicon tampering and Hardware Trojans, ensuring system integrity and preventing breaches of critical tasks.
Advanced Security Subsystem
A hardware Root of Trust, secure boot, offloading of sensitive and secure computations, and a physically separated Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) on die.
Advanced encryption
State-of-the-art encryption algorithms protect sensitive data from unauthorised access.
High performance
Leveraging cutting-edge architecture and proprietary technologies, IONION processors deliver high-speed data processing and efficient multitasking for the most demanding applications.

Proprietary concurrent task speedup technology
Our unique proprietary technology accelerates the execution of concurrent tasks, providing unmatched performance for multitasking environments.
Cutting-edge architecture
Designed to maximise processing speed and efficiency for demanding applications.
Industrial Network-on-Chip
IONION processors feature unique network-on-chip communication infrastructures.
Optimised memory model
Our memory model is specifically designed to reduce latency and improve data access speeds, ensuring seamless performance.
Reliability
All IONION processors are engineered to address the reliability challenges of safety-critical embedded systems, particularly in space.

End-to-end data path integrity
Data remains uncorrupted throughout its journey within the processor, from input to output.
ECC/EDAC on pipelines, registers and memories
Error-correction and error detection and correction mechanisms identify and fix single and multi-bit errors, including those caused by radiation in space.
Active memory scrubbing
Advanced memory scrubbing continuously reads, checks and corrects memories to prevent the accumulation of faults, tuned to mission requirements and environmental conditions.
Software-configurable protection mechanisms
Enable, disable or tune fault-tolerance features from software for flexibility across mission phases and changing environments.
Everything on one die.
Security, performance and fault tolerance are designed into the silicon itself, not bolted on afterwards.
Proprietary hardware security
Protection against Transient Execution Attacks, silicon tampering and Hardware Trojans.
Network-on-Chip
First Network-on-Chip communications infrastructure for industrial-grade processors.
Optimised memory model
Lower latency and faster data access for seamless performance.
Cryptographic accelerators
Hardware encryption and secure boot so only trusted code runs.
Proprietary Speedup technology
Faster execution of concurrent, multitasking workloads.
Rad-hard by design
ECC/EDAC, scrubbing and data path integrity for space environments.
