According to the company, the ISL72813SEH is the industry\u2019s first high current driver to integrate the decoder, level shifter and driver array in a single monolithic (IC), allowing satellite manufacturers to significantly increase system capacity and reduce solution size by up to 50 percent. The device\u2019s integrated level shifter eliminates several peripheral components.<\/p>\n<p>The ISL72813SEH driver leverages Intersil\u2019s proprietary silicon on insulator process, which provides Single-Event Latch-Up (SEL) robustness in heavy ion environments. The driver\u2019s integrated decoder interfaces directly to the general purpose Input\/Outputs (I\/Os) of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and Central Processing Units (CPUs) in the satellite\u2019s flight computer, dramatically reducing pin count compared to competitive 1-input to 1-output driver arrays. Each of the device\u2019s 32 channels of common-emitter open-collector driver outputs can generate pulses of up to 42V and 600mA. The ISL72813SEH addresses latching relay and solenoid commanding for most satellite control functions, including redundancy management, mechanism drive enables, propulsion component relays and enables, battery management, and payload switch control. The ISL72813SEH\u2019s low Vce&nbsp;saturation levels eliminate a major customer concern by reducing the overhead voltage required to drive the load. The driver\u2019s power efficiency and high integration reduces the amount of circuitry required on the bus, allowing customers to add more spacecraft functionality and processing power, according to Intersil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intersil Corporation has introduced a radiation hardened 32-channel driver with integrated decoder that reduces the Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) of satellite command and telemetry systems.
