radiation-hardened microcontroller expanse | Military Aerospace – Notice Today Online

AUSTIN, Texas – Space technology experts at NOVI LLC in Arlington, Va., needed a radiation-hardened microcontroller for the company’s second-generation expanse rated grace computer. They institute their resolution from VORAGO Technologies in Austin, Texas.

NOVI satellite technology designers hit chosen the VORAGO Arm Cortex-M4 microcontroller for the SpaceX Transporter-12 assignment to start diminutive satellites aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 herb as primeval as this Oct from Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif.

NOVI’s second-generation space-rated grace computer, which has an AMD Versal reconciling system-on-chip (SoC) and the VORAGO Arm Cortex-M4, has complete investigating and is regular to control its prototypal space assignment on the Transporter-12 assignment this fall.

“We initially designated the VORAGO M4 processor as a programme for the important SoC to wage the maximal levels of irradiation performance,” says Jonathan King, administrator of creation utilization for NOVI LLC.

“We apace unconcealed that the broad action and flush marginal ordered of the MCU enabled it to verify on a more direct persona in managing the satellite bus, offloading some tasks from the Versal SoC to the VORAGO rad hornlike MCU,” King says.

“This enables a highly economical threefold strategy that leverages the AMD reconciling SoC for qualifier AI applications patch reaction the coverall noesis bag needed for the spacecraft,” King says.

Among the VORAGO M4 processors are the VA41630 Hi-Rel, broad action microcontroller with desegrated NVM; the VA41620 Hi-Rel, broad action microcontroller; the VA41629 Hi-Rel, broad action microcontroller; and the VA41628 Hi-Rel, broad action microcontroller.

The VA41630 crapper resist more than 200 kilorads of radiation, has 64 kilobits of accumulation memory, 8-channel A/D converter, 2-channel D/A converter, Ethernet, SpaceWire, 256 kilobits of NVM, and is acquirable in 176 CQFP, 176 PQFP, 196 BGA.

The VA41620 crapper resist more than 300 kilorads of radiation, has 256 kilobits of programmable memory, 64 kilobits of accumulation memory, an 8-channel A/D converter, a 2-channel D/A converter, Ethernet and SpaceWire and is acquirable in 176 CQFP, 176 PQFP, 196 BGA.

The VA41629 crapper resist more than 300 kilorads of radiation, has 256 kilobits of programmable memory, 64 kilobits accumulation memory, 8-channel A/D converter, 2-channel D/A converter, and is acquirable in 176 PQFP, 196 BGA.

The VA41628 crapper resist more than 300 kilorads of radiation, has 256 kilobits of programmable memory, 64 kilobits of accumulation memory, and is acquirable in 128 CQFP, 196 BGA.
