AMICSA: Space applications for analogue and mixed-signal ICs
Oral
In this paper we highlight the design work performed by Riverbeck Ltd on the Romeo and Juliet chipset paid for by Global Invacom and the European Space Agency.
Romeo and Juliet are application specific integrated circuits developed as the receiver element of a satellite TV, terrestrial TV and FM radio fibre distribution system. Fibre distribution of media signals is particularly attractive...

AMICSA: Space applications for analogue and mixed-signal ICs
Oral
Saphyrion Sagl is developing under an ESA contract a new chip-set for L-band radiometer applications, which consists of an RF down-converter and a latched comparator (1-bit AD-converter). The chip-set is being developed in collaboration with MIER Comunicaciones, who will use it on their next generation of radiometers. At present fully operating ASIC prototypes are available and are being...

AMICSA: Custom cell-, circuit-, and system design of ICs for space applications
Oral
We present monolithic VCSEL driver and transimpedance amplifier array ICs for multi-channel optical transceivers. Each IC has 3 channels and is targeted to operate at the highest data rate of 25 Gb/s/channel. Two generations of the ICs have been implemented with IHP’s 0.25-μm SiGe:C BiCMOS technology. The Gen-1 ICs contain only analog control circuits in order to focus on verification of...
