In the race to reduce aircraft emissions, developers increasingly are moving toward more efficient designs including electrical systems that replace today’s pneumatics and hydraulics powering everything from on-board alternators to actuators and Auxiliary Power Units (APUs). To enable next-generation aircraft electrical systems, new power conversion technology is required. Microchip Technology has announced its development with…
Infineon offers first radiation-tolerant, NOR Flash memory for space-grade FPGAs
Space-grade field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) require reliable, high-density, non-volatile memories that contain their boot configurations. To address the growing need for high-reliability memories, Infineon Technologies announced the industry’s first high-density, radiation-tolerant (RadTol) NOR Flash memory products, qualified to MIL-PRF-38535’s QML-V flow (QML-V Equivalent). The QML-V flow is the highest quality standard certification for aerospace-grade ICs.…
