Modern satellite systems require integrated circuits capable of meeting demanding radiation, performance, power consumption, price and integration requirements. As satellite systems evolve to large digital payloads and phased array antennae, highly integrated mixed signal and RF ICs are becoming critical to overall system performance. Ultra-Thin-Silicon, or UTSi, CMOS is a modern, high yield version of silicon on sapphire which provides natural radiation hardness with the advantages of high volume commercial CMOS manufacturing. This paper will discuss the variety of products and their performance available for satellite applications from Peregrine Semiconductor, including phase locked loops, mixers, switches, A/D converters, EEPROM, digital logic and integrated passive devices. |
