Abstract

Satellite demands in terms of computational power, dimensions, mass, reliability and power consumption related to the electronic circuitry for on-board-processing (both payload and house keeping operations) are typically addressed with integrated solutions: System-on-Chip (SoC) has become a familiar term which identifies a complex heterogeneous system composed by one or more processing units, an application specific block-set and a variable number of general purpose [programmable] peripherals (communication, networking, memories). New design methodologies are required for the design and verification of such a complex SoC in a reasonable time. In this paper we applied the so called platform based approach for the development of a generic digital sensor interface: the interface gathers the data coming from a space qualified sensor and after a proper signal conditioning (offset calibration, linearization, thermal compensation) provides the processed information through a SpaceWire link.
