Eric Marcelot, Marketing & Business Development Director,
commented, “With the ever-growing SWaP (Size, Weight
and Power) constraints within the aerospace market, we are
proud to develop a powerful, ultra-compact computer that’s
commercially available.”
François Sébès, President of Adeneo, added “Combining our
core competencies with the benefits of e2v’s Qormino® in the
computer design, we’re able to keep our competitive edge in
developing innovative embedded computers.”
TI launches the first DDR memory-
termination linear regulator for space
applications
Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ:TXN) today introduced
the industry’s first double-data-rate (DDR) memory linear
regulator for space applications. The TPS7H3301-SP is
the only DDR regulator immune to single-event effects up
to 65 megaelectron volts per centimeter squared (MeV-
cm2), powering space-satellite payloads including single-
board computers, solid-state recorders and other memory
applications. For more information or to download the
radiation report, see
Integrating two monolithic power field-effect transistors
(FETs) for source and sink termination and an internal
voltage reference, the TPS7H3301-SP is up to 50 percent
smaller than a switch-mode regulator DDR solution. To
see a live demonstration of the new regulator and learn
about other products from TI’s leading-edge radiation-
hardened portfolio, visit Booth 43 during the 2016 Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Nuclear
and Space Radiation Effects Conference (NSREC).
Key features and benefits:
Small size: At 0.16 square inches, the device is up to
50 percent smaller than a switch-mode regulator DDR
solution, delivering critical weight and launch cost savings.
Superior radiation performance: Along with industry-
leading immunity, the device withstands a total ionizing
dose of up to 100 krad. Its stable termination power supply
ensures that single-event effects do not impact read-and-
write operations.
Easy design-in: Designers can pair the TPS7H3301-
SP with the TPS50601-SP buck converter to create the
smallest complete power solution for DDR memory. As
with TI’s entire space portfolio, designers have access to
a full suite of support resources, including comprehensive
radiation reports, on-demand training and Simulation
Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE)
models.
Maximum export: The device is controlled under U.S.
Department of Commerce Export Control Classification
Number (ECCN) EAR99.
Tools and support to jump-start designs

capability linear regulator SPICE model.
Package, availability and pricing
The TPS7H3301-SP is available now in a 16-pin dual-
ceramic flat package that is Qualified Manufacturer List
(QML) Class V and 100 krad (silicon) radiation hardness
assurance (RHA) qualified (5962R1422801VXC). You
can obtain more information about this device from the
Defense Logistics Agency. Please contact spacesample@
