Description

In the advancing field of space computing, new challenges and opportunities emerge as missions demand higher performance and increased focus on cybersecurity. This presentation will provide an overview of the upcoming solutions from Frontgrade Gaisler, including two key components: the GR716B microcontroller and the GR765 microprocessor.

The GR716B, a radiation-hardened mixed-signal microcontroller, doubles the performance of the GR716A and widens the range of standard interfaces. Its versatility allows for applications in distributed control, bus bridging, DC/DC control, and FPGA supervision.

Building on the success of the GR740, the GR765 processor represents a major leap in performance for space-grade processors. Doubling the processor core count and increasing operating frequency, the GR765 also introduces significant architectural improvements to meet the most advanced mission requirements. This processor also addresses critical cybersecurity concerns, with a focus on data integrity, trusted communication, and quantum-resistant technologies
