About Us

Finding Inspiration in Every Turn

We are consistently driven to serve, learn, and progress alongside our members and partners.

Our Story

Why We Started

We started chipsID because there was no centralized database of Known Good Devices, also known as Golden Samples. The entire organization had nothing genuine to compare their parts against, so we set out to build that reference.

As engineers, we have repeatedly dealt with counterfeit components first hand. The people affected sank significant engineering hours into a problem that proper DMSMS planning and counterfeit mitigation would have prevented.

Counterfeit encounters in the field can be dire, and they should be met with a proactive mindset. To combat them, we keep supporting, collaborating, and above all sharing what we find with the wider community.

What We Value

Our Commitments

Our culture is committed to customer focus, safety, and trust, and we firmly believe that solutions without ethics are meaningless.

Customer focus

We work alongside our members and partners rather than selling at them, to give them exactly what they need.

Safety

Counterfeit parts in mission and flight critical systems put lives at risk. We put safety first in all our work.

Trust

Every Golden Sample traces back to the original manufacturer or an authorized distributor.
