This webinar provides a brief overview of the main features embedded in the RHRPMICL1A IC device, a rad-hard integrated current limiter designed and developed by STMicroelectronics.
The device was conceived by ESA to have an ICL (Integrated Current Limiter) of universal use, containing most of the components required for the relevant current limiter functions (such as Latching, Re-triggerable, and Foldback modes), thereby avoiding recurrent redesign and implementation using discrete components.
The high-voltage application allows the device to be used in power buses of 100v or higher, as these are required more and more in satellite applications.
The webinar provides circuit-level details on how to utilise the device in its intended applications and presents experimental results demonstrating its performance. The RHRPMICL1A device has recently been qualified to the QML-V standard for radiation hardness with SMD number 5962-17211.

Federico MUSARRA
After two years spent working as automation and robotics engineer for a local company he started his career in STMicroelectronics in 2004 as an application engineer in charge, over the years, of several application segments and product families such as Linear and Switching regulators, USB transceivers, USB charging, Serializers/Deserializers for phone camera interface.
In 2016 Federico was appointed as Application Manager for the Power Management Business Unit supporting, among the BU’s product families, the power management Space products.
