3 Step Process to sourcing powerful and qualifiedmicroprocessors for Space Programmes
Perform tests to assess whether the chosen processor has sufficient radiation tolerance for the intended mission:
- Ionising radiation.
- Heavy ions (SEE; SEL, SEU).
2. Radiation Tolerance Assessment - Approx 6 months
Depending on the computational task to be performed, select the most appropriate Microprocessor
within e2v portfolio.
e2v offer a broad range of processors from PowerPC to Multi-core QorIQ processors
1. Selection of appropriate Microprocessor
Hermetic Package design.
Creation of full space grade assembly and screening flow as per ESA ESCC9000 or QMLV standards
3. Creation of the Space version of the selected Microprocessor – Approx. 1.5 year

Radiation Tolerance Assessment.Case of PC7447A and PC7448
PC7447A and PC7448 have been tested under heavy ions as part of the SCADRI project.
The SCADRI project was executed with the joint cooperation of e2v, French Space
Agency CNES and the TIMA Laboratory of Grenoble – France.
Observed SEE rates and neutron FIT makes theses CPUs suitable for a
wide range of aerospace applications :
• No Latchup confirmed (SOI process).
• Upset rates of SOI Power PCs are low enough to allow their use in space
applications where occasional upsets can be tolerated or mitigated.
• PC7447A and PC7448 are useful candidates for non-critical, highly computational
tasks in space.
• Sensitivity to neutrons (FIT rates) are low enough to allow their use in
avionics applications.
Refer to full test report for details of test methods and results.
Slide 29
Radiation Tolerance Assessment.Processors on similar technology
e2v offers PCI Bridge and memory controller device PC109 which is recommended for
use with PC7447A and PC7448.
PC109 is built on a 130nm technology, thus radiation can be expected to be similar to
PC7447A although not specifically tested to date.
e2v offers Multi-core microprocessors built on the same or similar 90nm technology as
PC7448 for which the SCADRI project demonstrated sufficient radiation tolerance for
compute intensive space programmes.
Similar radiation performance as PC7448 can be expected on the following processors.
• PC8640D Dual 32bit e600 cores 1.25GHz each.
• PC8641D Dual 32bit e600 cores 1.25GHz each.

About QML-Y and Hi-TCE package
QML-Y is new standard currently being defined – not yet released.
It applies to non-hermetic integrated circuits intended for Space applications
QML-Y
The Hi-TCE package of PC7448 is a ceramic non-hermetic package.
It is a Flip-Chip technology.
It features high thermal expansion coefficient, thus requires no CCGA columns and features good
thermo-mecanical reliability with BGA balls.
