RHRDAC121 Radiation-Hardened Digital-to-Analog Converter Radiation-Hardened DAC with Power Down Function for Next Generation Satellite Applications

STMicroelectronics has revealed a new radiation-hardened digital-to-analog converter (DAC) RHRDAC121 which operates down to 2.5V for use in modern, low-power system designs that older 3.3V parts cannot support. Typically used in circuits for telemetry, housekeeping, and precision sensor-gain adjustment, its features include an SPI-compatible serial output…

LEO Series Radiation Hardened ICs Economical Radiation-Hardened ICs in Low-Cost Plastic Packages designed for New Space Satellites

STMicroelectronics has introduced the new LEO series of radiation-hardened power, analog, and logic ICs in low-cost plastic packages that provide important functions for the satellites’ electronic circuitry. The first nine devices in this series include a data converter, a voltage regulator, an LVDS transceiver, a line driver, and five logic gates that are used…
