This project could put Brazil on the map of countries that master the technology of radiation hardening of electronic components. When we think about telecommunications and space research, we cannot fail to include Brazil in the select group of countries that dominate cutting-edge technologies in these areas. The first SEE radiation tests on the FPGA-based SpaceWire electronic component were successfully carried out in January SpaceWire is a communications network designed, for example, to connect high data processing rate sensors, processing units, memory devices and telemetry/remote control subsystems on board spacecraft or satellites. These Single Event Effects (SEE), as the radiation effects induced mainly by heavy ions are called, were tested in this component for the first time in Brazil.
Other tests involving different SEE measurements on different electronic components have been carried out on Pelletron and have proven to be a powerful design support tool for selecting circuit topologies to be used in the ASIC version of the SpaceWire component, which will be sent for manufacturing later this semester . The configuration being tested was designed and built by the CITAR Project (Radi Whatsapp Number List ation Tolerant Integrated Circuits), which is an initiative of the MCTI (Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation) and is being executed by CTI Renato Archer, INPE (National Research Institute Space), IFUSP (USP Physics Institute), IEAv-DCTA (Institute for Advanced Studies) and AEB (Brazilian Space Agency), with funding from FINEP (Studies and Projects Financier). This project could put Brazil on the map of countries that master the technology of radiation hardening of electronic components.
It will be widely used in the development of systems for high-speed communication between satellite subsystems and in environments subject to radiation. The CITAR Project is strategic in nature and aims, in addition to providing the country with cutting-edge technology, to prepare the infrastructure for radiation testing of electronic components in the national territory, promoting technological independence in this area. The first engineering tests using heavy ion beams were carried out at the Pelletron Particle Accelerator at the Physics Institute (IF) at USP, by the CITAR Project team. The universities FEI-SP, Instituto Mauá and the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul also participated in this phase of the project.
