Description
Summary:A highly integrated system-on-chip is currently in development. Based on the flight-proven RAD6000™ microprocessor, this mixed-signal microcontroller supports a wide variety of standard digital interfaces commonly used in spacecraft avionics. Multiple analog input and output channels are also provided. This paper will discuss the RAD6000mc architecture, porting of the RAD6000 processor into a reusable core, development of the analog circuitry and analog control interface core, and various applications for which the RAD6000MC is well matched.
