World Semiconductor Trade Statistics predicts that chip sales will accelerate to 8.4% growth next year, reaching $469 billion in revenue. For 2020, it estimated that chip sales would rise 5.1% to $433 billion. That’s after semiconductor industry sales fell 12% to $412 billion in 2019. Semiconductor industry sales returned to growth this year despite disruptions from the Covid-19 pandemic.
The family of products ISL71xxx radiation-tolerant plastic-package ICs enable cost effective solutions for short duration low Earth orbit (LEO) mission profiles.
This webinar will go over some of the challenges of selecting EEE components for lower-cost space missions. It will present the continuing need for radiation tolerance in the components, as well as quality needs. The Renesas line of Radiation-Tolerant and Radiation-Hardened Plastic products will also be discussed, including qualification, screening and assurance testing flows.
Renesas’ radiation-hardened load switches provide a simpler and smaller way to turn on and off your power rails in multi-rail power systems compared to a discrete FET. Load switches are also ideal for redundant power distribution, power sequencing and input-output protection of POL based power distribution systems.
The Analog to digital converters (ADC´s) convert a continuous time and amplitude analog signal to discrete time and amplitude digital signal. The conversion involves quantization of the input, (error/noise source) and sampling the input (signal BW limitation)
In modern space applications, where a lot of missions recover an enormous amount of data, it is extremely important to have an efficient data acquisition system. These systems take data which is digitalized and then processed in various ways. Once processed, the data is sent to a DAC in order to convert it into analog signals.
Space business is rapidly evolving towards what is usually called as “New Space”, covering smallsats to form large constellations or megaconstellations operating in multiple low Earth orbit (LEO) planes. This “New Space” tries to reach a more cost/efficiency ratio so that the monetary cost of the project is reduced as much as possible and guaranteeing its reliability.
Effective May 5, 2019 prices for a subset of REA’s/Intersil legacy RH products will be increased by approximately 25% for the flight grade packaged products and 20%-50% for the die and /PROTO products
Renesas Electronics Corporation, a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, and Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT), a leading supplier of analog mixed-signal products, including sensors, connectivity and wireless power, today jointly announced the successful completion of Renesas’ acquisition of IDT, as of March 30, 2019 JST, March 29, 2019 PDT, following approvals by IDT shareholders and the relevant regulatory authorities.
