Radiation Tolerant Ultra Low Power CMOS Microelectronics: Technology Development Status
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electronic components used in spacecraft are susceptible to the radiation environment that causes detrimental effect which could jeopardize the mission. Much effort has been devoted to methodologies that would produce radiation tolerant or hardened devices hopefully with speed-power performance close to commercial parts. Recent development in combining radiation tolerance by design technique with ultra low power CMOS circuit technology promises dramatic impact on future NASA spacecraft. The measured performance at 0.5V demonstrates over 30:1 power reduction compared to a similar device with 3.3 V supply voltage. This paper gives a status report on the development of such radiation tolerant ultra low power electronics technology.

An Ultra-Low Power, Radiation Tolerant, High Speed Correlator
A digital high-speed cross-correlator (HSCC) has been developed for use in a microwave polarimetry instrument. The HSCC incorporates radiation tolerant circuit design and an ultra-low power CMOS process. In order to meet the very high input data requirement of 500 megasamples per second the correlator architecture was partitioned into different sections, each with its own trade-off requirements...

متن کاملA Reconfigurable Data Path Processor for Space Applications
This paper introduces a reconfigurable processor under development, and targeted to an ultra-low-power, radiation tolerant CMOS process. The architecture has been selected to implement a synchronous pipeline computational model. The highly-parallel, reconfigurable data path emphasizes agile data flow instead of agile control flow for data-intensive, streaming processing for spacecraft.
