Teledyne's ARM Cortex based space processor withstands100krad dose

With more private players getting into satellite and space business, a processor chip with powerful processor IP such as Arm Cortex-A72 provides some developer advantages over proprietory processor core for tasks such as image processing. Now you have popular LS1046-Space processor from Teledyne e2v passing stringent total ionizing dose (TID) radiation tests, achieving 100krad resilience. LS1046-Space processor with 64-bit Arm Cortex-A72 processing cores operates up to frequencies of 1.8GHz. LS1046-Space feature 10Gbit Ethernet, PCI-Express (PCIe) 3.0, SPI, I2C, multiple UARTs, etc. Company says "These results complement those previously obtained in terms of single event latch-up (SEL) and single event upset (SEU) when exposed to heavy-ions up to more than 60MeV.cm²/mg." This high-reliability processor is based on NXP processor technology with built-in 64-bit DDR4 SDRAM memory controller with 8-bit error corrected code (ECC), plus a 2MByte L2 cache shared across its cores. L1 and L2 caches are both ECC-protected to protect against data corruption. LS1046-Space is offered in a 780-ball BGA package. It's a good choice for single board computers used in space applications. NASA Level 1 requirements fulfilling processor is suggested for satellite-based imaging related tasks, such as processing/conditioning and image data compression, as well as ultra-low latency com...
