This paper presents a platform-based approach adopted to develop a sensor interface for a generic spacequalified sensor. The design environment is composed by hardware blocks and software tools suitable for the design space exploration, while a proper verification methodology intents to guarantee the correct system behavior and to increase its reliability. An application case with a rate gyro sensor is being considered in order to tune the design flow. The approach aims to reduce the costs of the final chip in terms of either the development time, by exploiting the platform concept, or the involved circuitry, for the massive usage of the digital electronic in spite of the analog one.
