Silicon, re·imagined for mission·critical

IONION designs secure, high-performance RISC-V processors and MCUs — engineered in Milan, manufactured in Europe for space, defense, and the critical infrastructure that cannot fail.

01 · Technology

Three pillars,
one silicon.

Every IONION processor is built on three inseparable foundations — security verified in hardware, performance unlocked by proprietary architecture, and reliability engineered for the harshest environments above and below the atmosphere.

01 / CYBERSECURITY

Cyber
security

  • Transient executionFully immune to Spectre & Meltdown via verified proprietary technology.
  • Tamper & trojan detectionReal-time response to silicon tampering and third-party Hardware Trojan Horses.
  • Secure bootOnly cryptographically trusted software executes from power-on.
  • Advanced Trusted ExecutionState-of-the-art physical isolation to protect sensitive code in flight and at rest.
02 / HIGH PERFORMANCE

High
performance

  • Concurrent task speedupProprietary technology accelerates multi-tasking workloads beyond conventional limits.
  • Cutting-edge architectureDesigned to maximise throughput and efficiency under demanding loads.
  • Network on chipIndustrial-grade on-die interconnect for predictable, low-latency communication.
  • Optimised memory modelPurpose-built memory hierarchy for reduced latency and seamless access.
03 / RELIABILITY

Reliability

  • End-to-end data integrityData stays uncorrupted from input to output across the entire datapath.
  • ECC / EDAC everywhereError detection and correction on pipelines, registers, and memories.
  • Configurable memory scrubbingProactive checking prevents fault accumulation in long-mission deployments.
  • Software-tunable protectionEnable, disable, or adjust fault-tolerance per mission phase.
02 · Applications

Where it matters,
our silicon is there.

Eight domains where failure and security are not an option. RISC-V based, radiation-hardened, and customisable — our processors meet the demand of the systems our world runs on.
