Collaborative R&D is joint R&D funded by a government contract. Nu-Trek has collaborated with many universities and prime contractors and is able to act both as a prime and sub contractor. As a small company we are eligible to participate in the SBIR and STTR programs and have a very good win record. Our company has a secret facility clearance and all Nu-Trek designers are US citizens.
Nu-Trek designs cutting edge mixed signal application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and develops innovative solid-state detectors. Current sponsored R&D includes ultra-low-power data converters and analog front ends for imaging applications, high dynamic range RF Tx/Rx front ends, radiation-hardened ASICs, and solid-state neutron detectors. Nu-Trek's collaborative R&D programs leverage off of the technology and ASICs developed on the sponsored R&D programs.

ASIC blocks designed and verified by sponsored R&D are available for use in Collaborative R&D.
