Description

The Advanced Data Handling Architecture (ADHA) concept has been developed in collaboration between European industry (integrators, and hardware suppliers) and the European Space Agency (ESA). ADHA defines a set of specifications for electronic data-handing units [1]. which is based on standardised, interchangeable, and interoperable electronics modules. SpaceFibre [2] provides the high data-rate interconnect for ADHA, both inside an ADHA unit, interconnecting the AHDA modules, and externally. This paper describes a SpaceFibre routing switch for AHDA hardware modules which is able to support the demanding data rates and interconnect architecture of ADHA applications.
