Description
Frontgrade (formerly CAES, Cobham, Aeroflex, UTMC) pioneers the future and underpins many of the world’s most critical missions. Our radhard/radtolerant microelectronics empower the world’s leading spacecraft: from leading high throughput commercial communications satellites, earth observation satellites, manned space, deep space exploration, and the latest new space constellations.
Too often system designers are faced with a choice of using antiquated FPGA technology, or one that is much larger and power hungry than required. Frontgrade Technologies partnered with Lattice Semiconductor to bring their small footprint, low power, Nexus platform to the space market. The Nexus platform is based on 28nm FDSOI technology delivering strong performance with radiation tolerance.
Frontgrade will present details of the Certus-NX-RT and CertusPro-NX-RT devices, radiation testing summaries for the Certus-NX-RT for TID, proton and heavy ion, and testing plans for the CertusPro-NX-RT. Frontgrade will also highlight work on a 64 Mb RHBD SONOS SPI Flash device that could power in flight reconfigurable solutions with the FPGA devices.
To meet the high market demand for low earth orbit missions with reliable plastic encapsulated microelectronic components, Frontgrade is at the technology forefront delivering Space PEM qualified devices. Frontgrade will detail our Space PEM screening and qualification flow and compare it to NASA & ECSS flows.
