Microchip announced the expansion of the anti -radiation ARM single -chip microcomputer (MCU) product lineup for space system

     Space projects including planet exploration, rail aircraft tasks and space research require innovative spacecraft system technology to provide connection and processing functions. In order to make system designers better integrate and improve performance, while reducing development costs and shortening listing time, commercial spot technology (COTS) and scalable solutions are increasingly applied to space applications. Microchip announced that its ARM -based SAMRH71 microprocessor (MPU) has been certified, and Samrh707 single -chip microcomputer (MCU) has begun to supply. Both products use the ARM Cortex-M7-based tablet system (SOC) anti-radiation technology.

     Microchip's Samrh71 and SAMRH707 devices are developed by the support of the European Space Agency (ESA) and the French Aerospace Bureau National Space Study (CNES) to further carry out research and aerospace tasks.

     David Dangla, a VLSI component expert in the French National Space Research Center (CNES), said: "Introducing ARM technology in space applications has opened up new horizons for us, so that we can use mature and perfect ecosystems in consumption and industrial fields. SAMRH71 is the current market The first one based on the ARM Cortex-M7 anti-radiation micro-processor, provided developers with the simplicity and advanced architecture of a single-core processor, without having to perform heavy relief technologies like non-Astronomical elements. "

     The European Space Administration (ESA) computer -based computer engineer Kostas Marinis said: "Integrating the digital model converter and modulus converter with the powerful processor kernel is a key needs to respond to the new challenges of aerospace applications. Samrh707 launched by Microchip launched Let the cost-effective and anti-radiation single-chip microcomputer have a simple and easy-to-use function. "Standard ARM Cortex-M7 architecture and the same peripherals as the automotive and industrial processors, SAMRH71 and SAMRH707 can use standard software and hardware tools that can use consumer equipment. The optimization of system development costs and progress has been achieved.

     SAMRH71 is a anti -radiation version of Microchip's COTS car SOC technology. It also provides a spatial connection interface and high -performance architecture with DMIPS exceeding 200. The ARM Cortex-M7 kernel of SAMRH71 is designed for high-radiation environment, extreme temperature and high reliability, and equipped with high-bandwidth communication interfaces, such as SpaceWire, MIL-STD-1553, and CAN FD, and IEEE1588 GM accurate time protocol (GPTP ) Ethernet with function. With the support of the French National Space Research Center (CNES), SAMRH71 has obtained ESCC complete certification and meets the MIL standard V and Q -level high -reliability levels, enabling the system to meet strict compliance requirements.

     The SAMRH707 device expands Microchip's single-chip microcomputer product lineup based on anti-radiation ARM Cortex-M7. It provides analog function Designed for high radiation environment, extreme temperature and high reliability. SAMRH707 realizes high-level integration, embedded in static random access memory (SRAM) and flash memory, high bandwidth communication interfaces (including SpaceWire, MIL-STD-1553, and CANFD), such as 12-bit modulus converters (ADC ) He digital modular converter (DAC).

     Microchip designed a single -chip microcomputer, microprocessor, and on -site programming door array (FPGA) for space applications, which provides key elements for the development of new systems. The overall system solution of Microchip covers the power supply, timing and clock devices that meet the requirements of Aerospace, Radiation and radiation resistance, as well as connection and memory solutions.
