Utilization of COTS Electronics in Space Application, Reliability Challenges and Reality
نویسنده
چکیده
The utilization and application of commercially available semiconductor devices in high reliability spacesystems requires a thorough understanding of not only thereliability and failure mechanisms associated with the selecteddevices, but alsoof qualification and characterization methodsto determine the suitability of these devices to the intendedapplication. This paper provides a description of commonreliability and qualification practices and methods related to the utilization of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS)microelectronics in critical space applications.

Normal and Abnormal Embryonic Development in Virtual Reality
Purpose. To design and validate a desktop virtual reality (VR) system, for presentation and assessment of volumetric data, based on commercially-of-the-shelf (COTS) hardware as an alternative to a fully immersive CAVE-like I-Space VR system. Methods. We designed a desktop VR system, using a three-dimensional (3D) monitor and a 6 degreesof-freedom (6DOF) tracking system. A personal computer uses...
متن کاملRadiation tolerant electronics for the LHC experiments
The harsh radiation environment at the LHC poses formidable challenges to the design, fabrication and test procedures that must be applied in the development of ASICs embedded in the detectors. The use of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components in the LHC environment also requires a careful evaluation of the impact of radiation-induced effects on their performance and reliability. This revie...
متن کاملAPPLICATION OF FINITE ELEMENT MODEL UPDATING FOR DAMAGE ASSESSMENT OF SPACE STRUCTURE USING CHARGED SYSTEM SEARCH ALGORITHM
Damage assessment is one of the crucial topics in the operation of structures. Multiplicities of structural elements and joints are the main challenges about damage assessment of space structure. Vibration-based damage evaluation seems to be effective and useful for application in industrial conditions and the low-cost. A method is presented to detect and assess structural damages from changes ...
متن کاملAnalysis of a Multi-Layer Fault-Tolerant COTS Architecture for Deep Space Missions
Fault-tolerant systems are traditionally divided into fault containment regions and custom logic is added to ensure the effects of a fault within a containment region would not propagate to the other regions. This technique may not be applicable in a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) based system. While COTS technology is attractive due to its low cost, they are not developed with the same level ...
متن کاملImpact of Lead-free Components and Technology Scaling for High Reliability Applications
Semiconductor technology is increasingly meeting the demands and challenges posed by roadmaps such as ITRS in terms of technology scaling and packaging, where the interconnect size is decreasing to ever smaller dimensions. The drive for this is increasing functionality of the devices and is governed primarily by the consumer electronics markets. For applications in high reliability sectors such...
