Description

For several decades, Microchip provides one of the industry’s most comprehensive space product portfolio of radiation-hardened and radiation-tolerant solutions that includes high-performance MCUs, MPUs, FPGAs, memories, communication interfaces, frequency and timing solutions, mixed-signal ICs, custom power supplies, diodes, transistors, RF components and more. With product development activities and qualified supply chain in Europe, Microchip France is key contributor to the European space ecosystem delivering European and ESCC qualified solutions.

Fully designed, tested and qualified in Europe, ATMX150RHA is a mixed-signal Technology offer that provides high-performance and high-density solutions for Aerospace and Defense applications. ATMX150RHA covers a digital offer and extends it up to 22 million gates with a comprehensive library of standard logic & I/O cells.

With a set of qualified analog IPs, such as voltage regulators, voltage reference and monitoring devices, clock synthesizer and signal conditioning, ATMX150RHA eases the design of mixed-signal ASICs. The ATMX150RHA is the technology supporting our SAMRH71 and SAMRH707 radiation hardened microcontroller family.
The availability of a 5V to 1.8V regulator and the 5V tolerant IO permits easy re-targeting of obsolete or end-of-life ASICs with 5V core supply. The ATMX150RHA offers some High Voltage possibilities as well with some LDMOS transistors characterized in radiation up to 25V, this can be very useful for Power Management application.

In addition, the Physical Design Kit (PDK) enables customers to develop their own analog blocks and use the Microchip Space Multi-Project Wafer (SMPW) services, named PER and PFR that are making easy the access to prototypes

In this presentation we will describe all the features of this technology
