SpW-RTC (AT7913E)
RUAG Aerospace Sweden (S) as prime contractor together with Aeroflex Gaisler AB (S) as subcontractor initiated the development of the SpaceWire Remote Terminal Controller (SpW-RTC) ASIC in 2005. The System on Chip (SoC) architecture comprises a set of IP cores where the Leon2-FT Integer Unit, HurriCANe CAN core, and the SpW CoDec has been provided under ESA license.
ASIC technology and Package
The SpW-RTC ASIC is manufactured using Atmel 0.18um ATC18RHA technology which guarantees no single event latch up below a LET threshold of 80 Mev/mg/cm2. It is a CMOS based technology using 5 metal layers and specifications for the SpW-RTC are 3.3V for peripheral buffers and 1.8V for internal core signals. The SpW RTC ASIC comes in a grounded lid MCGA349 package with 50mil pin spacing.
