Mr Juan Ramos-Martos (Instituto de Microelectrónica de Sevilla)30/06/2014, 11:50AMICSA 2014OralA radiation-hardened-by-design (RHBD) digital library, developed for the Austria Microsystems (AMS) 0.35um CMOS technology has been applied in a mixed-signal ASIC that operates as a multi-channel data acquisition system for magnetometers using anisotropic magneto-resistances (AMR). The circuit has been tested in the Heavy-Ion facilities of the Université Catholique de Louvain-la-Neuve...Go to contribution page

Mr David Kerwin (Aeroflex)30/06/2014, 12:10AMICSA 2014OralThere is a need for high voltage (>5V <100V) mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs) in a variety of applications having ionizing radiation environments, such as satellite/space, medical diagnostic imaging, nuclear power control & monitoring, and radiation oncology therapy. In some of these environments, the ionizing radiation includes ions (space, proton therapy) while in others, there the...Go to contribution page

Mr Paul-Emile Latimier (ID MOS)30/06/2014, 14:00AMICSA 2014OralTwo years ago, ID MOS had the first demand to develop mixed-signal ASIC for Space applications. After having a look to the existing PDKs, we discovered that there was still no full Space PDK available, especially with regard to device models. ID MOS decided to develop its own PDK, for the low space voltage applications. This PDK had to provide hardened components to reach the specified...Go to contribution page

Marc Souyri (Airbus DS)30/06/2014, 14:20AMICSA 2014OralIncreasing needs for low costs, low space occupancy and reduced weight in the space industry have made ASIC integration of recurrent functions mandatory. Today, ASICs are used only for digital applications, but for the next satellite platform generation, ASIC integration will also be needed for analogue, mixed-signal and high-voltage applications. Airbus DS selected the XFAB XH035...Go to contribution page

Mrs Valerie Briot (ATMEL)30/06/2014, 15:40AMICSA 2014OralATMEL is moving towards “fablite” or “fabless foundry”. ATMEL develops its own low power process for Automotive and Space applications in order to control the lifetime and the second sourcing. ATMEL is qualifying its 150nm SOI process. This process offers a radiation hardened digital library, analog cells, NVM, 5V IOs and high voltage transistors. First available will be the 45V high voltage...Go to contribution page

Jan Steinkamp (IMST)30/06/2014, 16:00AMICSA 2014OralIn recent years the importance of mixed-signal ASIC supply for Space Applications in Europe has grown. Since there is a trend that Europe should be more independent from other worldwide sources in obtaining these components on the market. IMST is actually working together with TESAT Spacecom towards a mixed-signal library as part of an ESCC qualified ASIC supply chain. This paper presents the...Go to contribution page

Mr Giancarlo Franciscatto (imec)30/06/2014, 16:20AMICSA 2014OralDARE180X is a mixed-signal library solution for radiation applications implemented in the low-power 0.18µm commercial technology from XFAB. This set of libraries comprising core standard cells, digital and analog I/O cells, analog IP and SRAM memory blocks is currently being developed using a guard-ring shielding approach to guarantee TID tolerance higher than 100krad as well as SEL hardening...Go to contribution page

Mr Robin Brouns (imec)30/06/2014, 16:40AMICSA 2014OralWith the upcoming upgrades of the LHC experiments, it will be necessary to improve the performance and reduce the power consumption of the detector readout electronics. CERN has chosen to use a 65nm technology for part the new generation ASICs targeted to these upgrades. For this technology the SRAM memories within the readout circuitries need special attention as the commercially available IP...Go to contribution page
