Radiation Hardening By Design Integrated Circuits Enabling Low-Cost Satellites for Internet-of-Things

Technology And Application Outlook of Integrated Circuits Under the Internet of Things

“…By selecting a suitable total ionization metrology and optimizing the CMOS design, the team explored a RHBD design with better TID immunity, which achieves radiation hardening, while realizing low cost and intelligence, which is expected to reduce the cost of satellites used in IoT. The RHBD voltage ref Schematic and the Schematic of the proposed ADC is shown in figure 4 and 5 [7].…”

“…Fig. 4 RHBD voltage ref Schematic [7] Fig. 5 Schematic of the proposed ADC [7] In the application environment of the Internet of Things, transceivers usually cannot be retrofitted with large power supply devices like traditional devices, which makes the transceivers in this application environment have more stringent requirements for energy saving, and in recent years, a team has developed an ultra-low-power CMOS-based RF receiver, which can effectively satisfy this demand.…”

In the low-noise amplifier link, the team used the common gate architecture to reduce energy consumption, in other parts also in a controlled range to increase a little noise at the expense of low energy consumption, and ultimately make the receiver to meet the use of the performance needs of the premise of the lowest possible power consumption [8].…”
