Technology For The Edge

2 min readApogee Semiconductor today announced flight-grade versions of the ARPS1020A5 radiation-hardened smart high-side power switches. The new flight-grade options give space and defense system designers a path from evaluation and design-in to mission deployment using the same compact package, protection functions, and telemetry architecture.

The AxIO16 product family is designed to expand and conserve FPGA and processor digital I/O via I²C/SMBus/SPI interfaces and integrates level translation across 1.4 V to 5.5 V rails, enabling robust scalable control architectures. The APIO16 is designed for LEO class environments with 30 krad (Si) resilience while the AFIO16 is ideal for GEO environments with 300 krad(Si) resilience.  Both devices use the same 28 pin TSSOP footprint to simplify upgrades between LEO and GEO platforms.
