Workshop on analogue and mixed-signal integrated circuits for space applications

The European Space Agency (ESA) and the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of Nova University of Lisbon (FCT-UNL) are organising the second international workshop on analogue and mixed-signal integrated circuits for space applications (AMICSA 2008) from 31 August to 2 September in Cascais/Sintra, Portugal.

The purpose of this workshop is to provide an international forum for the presentation and discussion of recent advances in analogue and mixed-signal very-large scale integration (VLSI) design techniques and technologies for space applications.

More specifically, topics on the agenda include:
- radiation effects on integrated circuits (ICs) on analogue and mixed-signal ICs;
- methodologies for radiation hardening on analogue circuits at cell level, circuit level, and system design level;
- radiation hardened technologies for analogue ICs;
- radiation tests of analogue and mixed-signal ICs;
- qualifying and quantifying radiation hardness of analogue circuits;
- space applications for analogue and mixed-signal application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs);
- analogue intellectual property and reusability of analogue circuits in space;
- in-orbit experiences and flight heritage of analogue and mixed-signal ICs;
- needs and requirements for analogue and mixed-signal ICs in future space missions.For further information, please visit:
