The DoD funding commitments and market pressures are affecting the growth in rad-hard designs. While the supply chain remains a procurement challenge, designers are being forced to innovate to meet size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) demands with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products while maintaining acceptable radiation-tolerant levels…

Radiation-hardened processors, memory, power supplies, and other components for space applications have gone through big changes. Today, the pendulum is starting to swing back in a conservative direction, with more designed-in radiation hardening and test procedures than have been evident in the recent past. The Wild West of anything-goes small satellites with full COTS parts appears to be coming to a close…

The economics of space has changed significantly over the past decade. We’ve seen amazing reductions in launch costs that have paved the way for innovative satellite constellations with real world benefits that can be monetized. Applications such as Earth observation, providing world-wide internet and asset tracking can improve our lives in many ways, while generating significant revenue streams.

Apogee Semiconductor announced today the appointment of Micross Components, Inc. (Micross) as their global distributor of die and packaged Rad-Tolerant and Rad-Hard integrated circuits.

To enable the space systems of the future, and to make space more accessible, first the industry must solve the problems with rad-hard semiconductors. There are a number of major cost drivers for space-grade power integrated circuits (ICs) that need to be addressed.
