SPACE APPLICATION CASE STUDIES
From weather monitoring to GPS navigation, space technology plays a critical role in our daily lives. This rapidly growing sector demands ever-increasing performance while adhering to strict size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) constraints. Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and adaptive SoCs offer a powerful solution for developers building these complex systems.
FPGAs like the AMD KintexTM UltrascaleTM provide unmatched flexibility and performance. Their highly parallel architecture allows developers to tackle demanding tasks while meeting deterministic requirements. The versatile I/O capabilities enable seamless interfacing between any system components. Additionally, soft-core Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) MicroBlaze processors can be integrated within the FPGA fabric to handle sequential processing needs.
For superior performance and enhanced system integration, AMD VersalTM adaptive SoCs are the way to go. These devices combine powerful hard-core processors with built-in AI engines, allowing developers to achieve significant integration and realize substantial performance gains. This integration not only boosts throughput but also yields significant system-level benefits such as reduced power consumption and improved reliability.
Key Takeaways:
- Space technology underpins many aspects of modern life.
