MRAM offers the space industry the speed of SRAM, a density approaching DRAM, the non-volatility of flash memory, unlimited read/write endurance and low power consumption. These on-board storage benefits will enable new use cases for satellite applications.
Your customer wants tested hardware next month and you have budget for a single PCB spin: before sending your ODB++ or Gerber artwork, there are important Design-for-Manufacturing (DFM) checks to ensure your layout complies with formal standards, the fabricator can make it and your new bare-board is returned right-first-time. There are also Design-for-Assembly (DFA) checks to verify your sub-contractor can reliably place parts onto the PCB - I will not sign-off a new build until DFM and DFA have passed!
Covid-enforced production stops of raw materials, the soaring demand for work-from-home and home-learning devices, and the continued growth of the space market, has resulted in supply-chain issues such as component shortages, 70-week lead-times, higher prices and postponed launches.
