The
Space
ABLE 10G SM Series, 10G SL
Series, and 28G SL Series radiation-
resistant onboard embedded optical
transceiver modules offer radiation
hardness, robustness, longevity, and high
I/O density.
The
Space
ABLE
®
line of products with their intrinsic radiation
resistance, are well suited to provide optical interconnect within
space vehicles. These devices are extremely rugged and deliver
bandwidth in excess of 300 Gbps in a chip size part.
The low profile
Space
ABLE 10G SM Series module can be
mounted directly upon a high-speed printed circuit board via
surface mountable 1.27 mm pitch BGA or via a MEG-array
connector.
The
Space
ABLE 10G and 28G SL Series low profile screw-in
module mounts to the board via an LGA connector (interposer).
Radiation resistance
All
Space
ABLE radiation resistant transceivers are engineered to
withstand radiation doses > 100 krad (Si). Furthermore, all our
devices are tested following ECSS process and lot acceptance.
Component pre-screening can be done for every batch of
transceivers sold for this application.
These optical modules include equalizers and pre-emphasis to
compensate long traces; these features can be turned off for
short traces (less than 10 cm) to reduce power consumption.
