AMICSA: Custom cell-, circuit-, and system design of ICs for space applications

Poster

**European Sensor Systems** is a global developer and manufacturer of high quality sensors based on MEMS. In the course of the ESA activity 4000106328/12/NL/Cbi, European Sensor Systems is developing a “Space Qualified Family of MEMS Pressure Modules for Satellite Applications”. ![3D Model of Pressure Module][1] **Figure 1: 3D Model of Pressure Module** ESS has designed four MEMs...

41. Radiation Hardened by Design Pipeline Analog-to-Digital Converter Blocks in CMOS 0.18µm Technology

AMICSA: Implementation of Radiation Hardening on analogue circuits at cell-, circuit-, and system design level

Poster

CCD sensors embedded in satellites need not only to convert analog signals into digital ones with high precision and speed (around 14 bits at 5 MS/s) but also they must be radiation hardened due to the space environment. To achieve such performances, pipeline analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are usually employed as it is shown in figure 1. ![Overview of the most used architectures...

58. Si and CdTe Detector Readout ASIC in 0.35µm CMOS for Energetic Electron Spectroscopy for Taranis

AMICSA: Radiation tests of analogue and mixed-signal ICs

Poster

The compact size and power consumption of the electron energy detector instrument IDEE TARANIS requires the use of a dedicated ASIC readout circuit instead of discret devices for energy measurement. The ASIC consists of 8 CdTe, 4 regular size Si and 1 small Si detectors readout. Each channel includes a charge amplifier, a shaper, a peak detector and an 8-bit ADC. Si type channel covers the...

21. SOI CMOS Frequency Synthesizer for Flexible Communications Payloads

Dr Seong-Mo Moon (Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI))

AMICSA: Custom cell-, circuit-, and system design of ICs for space applications

Poster

The COMS payloads, up and down link frequency and the bandwidth are all fixed during the lifetime of the satellite. But increasing satellite lifetimes of more than 15 years, the ability to adapt the payload to new scenarios such as flexibility would be highly advantageous. An agile-tunable Local Oscillator (LO) is the key components in the next generation flexible payload. In this reason, a...

62. Status of the GR718B Product - a Radiation-Tolerant 18x SpaceWire Router for Space Applications

Mr Fredrik Johansson (Cobham Gaisler AB)

AMICSA: Custom cell-, circuit-, and system design of ICs for space applications

Poster

GR718B is a radiation tolerant 18 port standalone SpaceWire router component that has been developed by Cobham Gaisler together with imec (BE), in an activity initiated by the European Space Agency under ESTEC contract 4000105402/12/NL/CBi.No. All ports are capable of operating in 200 Mbit/s. UART and JTAG interfaces, that gives access to the on-chip bus, are provided for configuration and...
