Data Device Corporation

Data Device Corporation, or DDC, designs and makes high-reliability electronics. Its products serve aerospace, defense, space and industrial users. The company focuses on data networking, power and motion control, and connectivity parts. These range from single components to processor-based subsystems.

A main product line is data bus networking. A data bus is the wiring and electronics that let aircraft systems talk to each other. DDC offers boards, components, subsystems and software. They support standards such as MIL-STD-1553 and 1760, ARINC 429 and 717, Fibre Channel, Ethernet, CANbus and serial links. The site says this line has over 200 million hours of in-service history.

DDC also makes transformers, magnetic parts and cable assemblies. Two brands, Beta Transformer and North Hills, cover this work. The site says the parts handle extreme heat and cold, shock, vibration, dust, fluids and radiation. It lists programs where they are used. These include the F-35, F-22 and F-18 fighters, the C-17 transport, the M1A2 tank and Boeing 747, 757, 777 and 787 aircraft.

For space, DDC supplies radiation-hardened components. The site says they are space qualified and meant to cut size, weight and power use. They are used on satellites, launch systems, rovers, deep space probes and the International Space Station.

The company also builds custom solutions. Its work covers electrical design, mechanical design, test engineering, process engineering, manufacturing and product assurance. The site says this draws on decades of experience in analog and digital microelectronics.

The site also covers time-sensitive networking. This method gives precise timing and steady delivery of mixed data such as control signals, video and audio. It suits safety-critical systems and real-time communication.

DDC provides online support. It also has field service representatives and applications engineers who give technical help and on-site support. The website lists its products, markets and support resources.
