In the FAIR project (Front-end ASIC for Infrared detector Readout), an IC is developed for the readout of state-of-the-art NIR/SWIR detectors for future Earth observation missions and astrophysics. The chip consists of a high-resolution ADC with integrated offset correction and adjustable gain, and voltage regulators to generate bias/reference voltages for the detector. The chip is designed to...

Mixed signal spacecraft systems typically involve a digital processing portion to execute algorithms based on external events and the Analog Front End (AFE) that provides the interface between the benign digital processor environment and the “real world”. The digital processor is typically optimized for high speed computations using a low voltage process that helps reduce the power...

An ASIC designed to fulfil the role of a general purpose bias voltage generator for CCDs in space based camera systems is presented. The STAR (Space Telemetry And Reference) chip has been developed to reduce both the size and power consumption of the circuitry required to bias a science grade CCD. Implemented in a 0.35µm 50V tolerant CMOS process, STAR provides 24 independent voltage outputs...
