Digital Step Attenuators (DSA’s) are broadly used within Satellite Payloads to adjust signal levels either as standalone blocks or as a key part of complex systems. Wherever a DSA is employed its critical function is delivering accurate, consistent, repeatable level control in a difficult space environment. The environment in space creates additional challenges due to the wide range of...

Nowadays, on-board telecommand receivers for space applications consume an important percentage of the overall offered power of the satellite, especially due to their always ON need of operation.
Decoders, in charge of elaborating received data and of providing error correction according to redundancy introduced by related encoding protocol are one of the fundamental components of a satellite...

Transmission of large amount of data is extensively used in communication among spacecraft and satellite onboard systems during a mission. LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling) Drivers and Receivers are key to provide means of sending/receiving data along twisted pair cable at very high data-rates with low power and excellent EMI performance. Rad-tolerant and Rad-hard ANSI EIA/TIA 644A...

A big challenge in data transmission is the constant increase in data-rate. Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) is a high speed, low power general purpose standard interface. Our paper presents LVDS driver and receiver circuits specifically designed, packaged and qualified for use in aerospace environment. The intended application of these devices (RHFLVDS31/32 quad drivers/receivers) is...

In this paper the results of SEE tests on European Point-of-Load DC-DC converter and Extended Common Mode LVDS components using TFSMART2 technology will be presented.
TFSMART2 is an HV BCD technology on SOI with the smallest feature size of 0.35μm. During the AMICSA 2012 conference an unbiased TID radiation test of this technology using the same components has been presented.

The High Energy Physics Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most powerful particle accelerator installed at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, are in an exciting data taking phase but are also preparing upgrades to improve their performance. Their complex assemblies of detector systems make extensive use of electronics components located in a severe radiation environment and in a...

Thales Alenia Space is engaged in the development of a radiation hardened mixed-mode circuit: the DPC (digital programmable controller). This device is a major breakthrough in the availability of radiation hardened highly integrated micro-controller.
The construction of the DPC is the result of 4 party project involving Imec, ICsense & Thales Alenia Space under an ESA development. This...
