2nd Agreement with European Space Agency

We are glad to announce, that our company has signed the second cooperation agreement with European Space Agency on 14th of December, 2016. Contract Nr.4000119098/16/NL/SC was signed by both parties, based on the Development of Microcircuit αRD124A for applications in ESA missions.

The microcircuit αRD124a consists of four independent, high-gain internally frequency compensated operational amplifiers, which were designed specifically to operate from a single power supply over a wide range of voltages. Operation from split power supplies is also possible. The low power supply current drain is independent of the magnitude of the power supply voltage.

Application areas include transducer amplifiers and all the conventional op amp circuits, which can be more easily implemented in single power supply systems. For example, the microcircuit can be directly operate off the standard +5V power supply voltage, which is used in digital systems frequently and will easily provide the required interface electronics without requiring the additional ±15 V.

The microcircuit have been developed and certified as HiRel and RadHard component for airspace and defense equipment. The manufacturing process and characteristics of the microcircuit ensures maximum compliance with the general technical specifications 38535 and 9000. High reliability is ensured by screening and testing in certified manufacturing process. Radiation tolerance (total ionizing dose) do not less than 100 krad (Si) with high and low rate doses.

The microcircuit is in conformity with Directive 2011/65/EU of 8 June 2011 and do not use hazardous substances.

Project, based on R&D is planned to be finished by December, 2018.
