STAR-Dundee at Microsemi India 2017

This week STAR-Dundee is attending Microsemi Space Forum India in Bangalore on the 25th of July and Ahmedabad on the 27th of July 2017.

Here we will be demonstrating several of our IP Cores running in the radiation-tolerant RTG4 FPGA including:

  • SpaceFibre Single-Lane operating at 3.125 Gbps
  • SpaceFibre Multi-Lane operating at 6.25 Gbps
  • SpaceWire
  • SpaceWire-to-SpaceFibre Bridge

The demo will also include the SpaceFibre Routing Switch.

This will demonstrate the RTG4 FPGA integrated with several of STAR-Dundee’s equipment to recreate a generic model of the network onboard a spacecraft.

STAR-Dundee at Microsemi Europe

16 June 2017

STAR-Dundee at Microsemi Europe

On the 20th of June 2017, STAR-Dundee is attending Microsemi Space Forum, Europe. Here we will be demonstrating the Multi-Lane interface implemented in the radiation-tolerant RTG4 FPGA. This demo will include two of our IP cores; SpaceFibre multi-laning and the SpaceFibre router. Alongside this we will demonstrate the RTG4 FPGA integrated within the generic model of a network on-board a spacecraft.
