Rad-Hard Analog Mixed-Signal IP blocks

ISD offers a comprehensive portfolio of radiation hardened analog mixed-signal functional circuit blocks suitable either for stand-alone use or for integration as IP blocks in complex SoC and ASIC system designs. The rigorous and proven radiation hardening approach applied at system architecture, circuit design and technology levels ensures robust performance and reliable operation suitable for a number of demanding applications such as:

Simple PCIe FMC carrier board

The SPEC (EDA-02189) board has been designed by CERN and manufactured by ISD.

SpaceFibre demonstrator kit

The SpaceFibre demonstrator kit, developed by ISD under an ESA contract, is an FMC board featuring:

the SpaceFibre IP core from the University of Dundee along with test logic mapped on a Microsemi AX2000 FPGA one copper SpaceFibre connector one optical SpaceFibre connector

Electronics for Touchless Communicating Objects

ISD has provided a number of turn key solutions in the field of electronics for touchless communicating objects handling all aspects of product definition, design, development, testing, production and support. These designs, utilizing photodetectors in the visible and infrared spectrum by ISORG, have been delivered to end customers such as Schneider Electric, Decathlon, Pernod Ricard and the CEA (Commissariat a l'energie atomique et aux energies alternatives). Typically, these products detect motions or gestures, interpret them and trigger the suitable actions.

Structural Health Monitoring Platforms

Our SHM systems are battery-powered, standalone, sensor data acquisition, processing and storage units. Acquired data can be supplied either through a wireless link (ZigBeeTM standard) or via a standard USB link. They are intended to be embedded in complex structures, such as aircrafts, pipelines, high rise buildings, metallic constructions, bridges, etc providing measurements of environmental and physical quantities.

80S32 Validation Board

The 80S32 validation board was specifically developed for performing functional and performance validation of the 80S32 microcontroller, under an ESA contract. The FPGA based architecture of the board includes various components and peripheral devices for exercising the microcontroller under different conditions of varying voltage, temperature and operating frequency. A successful radiation campaign was performed using the board to determine the radiation sensitivity of engineering devices against Single Event Upsets (SEU).

Video Processing System

The Video Processing System (VIPS) is a mixed signal platform, which provides a real time hardware and software solution in the aircraft avionics test rig for the Head Up Display. It handles the video processing of the analog input signals arriving from the Head-Up Guidance system or the Electronic Unit and generates a standard digital video stream, which is transmitted over a LAN. The real time video stream is then merged with the video output from the Visual Scenery Generator to perform a a picture-over-picture task.

Herodion Video WVGA

Herodion is a multi-board architecture that can be utilized in order to capture, multiplex and deliver to PC main memory (through the PCI-X bus) in real time, video frames generated by a number of cameras that are hardware synchronized at pixel level.

ZigBee USB dongle

The ZigBeeTM USB dongle is a high performance, low power 2.4GHz ISM band transceiver and can perform digital data exchange between the air medium and the USB port of a host computer. Based on a 805.15.4 compliant DSSS transceiver it adds wireless network capability via the ZigBee standard to any device which employs USB. The dongle is available as network coordinator, network router or sensor-sink device versions, thus enabling its integration into existing or the formation of new wireless mesh networks.

IPs

ISD S.A. offers a variety of IPs suitable for telecommunication, consumer and military integrated systems. The IPs are either in the form of PCB boards, RTL blocks, analog components or SW modules (e.g. audio processing, digital filter technology, image processing, inter-processor communication protocol stacks, picture in picture drivers, audio drivers, system C compatible simulation kernels, power estimation engines, digital/analog blocks, etc).
