GOTHENBURG, Sweden - Wednesday, 20. November 2024 AETOSWire
(BUSINESS
WIRE) -- Frontgrade Gaisler has launched its latest radiation-hardened
microcontroller, the GR716B. Building on the success of the GR716A, this
latest innovation is a step forward in the development of
energy-efficient and adaptable microcontrollers for space applications.
As missions grow in complexity and ambition, the industry sees a growing
need for technologies that not only deliver dependable performance over
long durations, but also have the capabilities to manage a multitude of
tasks.
The GR716B is an all-in-one solution for supervision,
monitoring, and control in satellite applications. Designed with
versatility in mind, the new microcontroller adapts effortlessly to a
wide range of space systems due to its comprehensive set of standard
interfaces, architectural features, and integrated analogue functions.
Sandi
Habinc, General Manager at Frontgrade Gaisler, remarked, "With the
GR716B, we are excited to offer a solution that reflects the growing
ambitions of the space industry. The GR716B engineering models are now
being made available to alpha customers for integration into new
missions."
The GR716B combines proven technology with innovations
that address the space industry’s most pressing challenges such as the
need for low power consumption and efficient use of onboard resources.
Frontgrade Gaisler also plans to bring the GR716B System-in-Package
(SiP) solution to market, which combines the new microcontroller with
non-volatile memory, thereby simplifying system design.
The
development of the GR716B was made possible through support from the
European Space Agency’s (ESA) Core Competitiveness programme, part of
the Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems programme and within
ESA’s Connectivity and Secure Communications directorate, and Swedish
National Space Agency (SNSA), representing a continued commitment to
advancing space-grade technologies.
Domenico Mignolo, ESA Acting
Head of Technology and Products Division, said, “We are glad to support
Frontgrade Gaisler through our Core Competitiveness programme. By
supporting the development of versatile space-grade microcontrollers,
ESA aims to bring innovation in satellite communications in order to
strengthen industrial competitiveness.”
