Affordable Rad-Hard – An Impossible Dream?

摘要: Affordable electronics and radiation-hardened have often been mutually exclusive terms. Recent activities at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) other government organizations are focused on vastly improving availability affordability of high-performance rad-hard to put them into price range small satellites. The projects include development an advanced FPGA, structured ASICs, 16-Mbit SRAMs, hardened versions commercial devices such as a Texas Instrument 1394 chip set.
