Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Tech Transfer
All Digital Switch-Mode DC/DC Converters with BIST Functionality for Harsh Space Environments, Phase I
Project Introduction
The Space Micro Arizona State University (ASU) team will develop an all-digitally controlled, wide temperature range point-of-load switch-mode DC-DC regulator core with built-in self-test (BIST) functionality which meets space radiation requirements. In Phase I we will produce a design that can be fabricated into silicon in Phase II and demonstrate aspects of the design in the laboratory with some preexisting silicon circuits and discrete components.
