ABSTRACT |
|
This
tutorial presents the unique issues that must be considered when
designing electronics for space applications (including, but not limited
to, radiation effects), and how key satellite system building blocks are
affected by these issues. We review the common design techniques used
to mitigate these effects, with an emphasis on those used within custom
integrated circuits. Finally, we discuss the requirements for
characterization and qualification of the resulting products. |

David Sunderland
received BS and MS degrees from the University of Missouri, Columbia,
MO, in 1977 and 1978 respectively, and the PhD degree in 1987 from the
University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA. He joined Hughes
Aircraft in 1978, where he designed custom ICs for satellites. He joined
IBM in 1989, and was responsible for device design, modeling, and ground
rules in bipolar, CMOS, and BICMOS technologies. Since returning to
Hughes (now part of Boeing) in 1996, he has been responsible for
selection and qualification of high-performance, yet highly reliable and
radiation-tolerant,
semiconductor technologies for spacecraft applications. He is a Boeing
Senior Technical Fellow. Dr. Sunderland has been serving on the
CICC technical program committee since 2000. |
