LIDAR is a distance and speed measurement device using reflection characteristics of emitted light. In space applications, time-tagging LIDAR allows scanning planet surface before landing missions, formation flights by measuring distances between spacecrafts or atmospheric backscatter measurements. The main requirements for the read-out electronics are trifold: single-photon time-tagging...
Ethernet is becoming more common in spacecraft to enable hardwired communication speed, support higher data rates, and facilitate interoperability between satellites and other spacecraft. As Ethernet in space applications continues to expand, Microchip Technology has introduced a space-qualified Ethernet transceiver.
In the presentation, Microchip will introduce the VSC8541RT, European...
