Spacechips' three-day course on Space Electronics is our most popular training product, helping global OEMs understand satellite and spacecraft sub-systems to develop local capability and expertise:

The three-day training course is suitable for satellite/spacecraft design engineers, system integrators, system engineers, project/program managers, procurement staff, QA, space agencies, component suppliers, distributors and FAEs.

What you will learn to benefit immediate and future projects?

1. How to design Space Electronics right-first-time, to cost and schedule, preventing you over-engineering, delivering late and spending too much. The key project milestones used by satellite/spacecraft OEMs, the required deliverables and the standards used by the space industry.

2. The differences between all space-grade FPGAs and how to select the most suitable device for your next project. A comparison of FPGAs implementing spacecraft IP including devices from Microchip, Xilinx, Frontgrade and NanoXplore! Which COTS FPGAs are suitable for space applications.

3. How to use and select low-cost COTS parts and which COTS FPGAs, ADCs/DACs and Power devices can you reliably use for space applications. Semiconductor radiation effects, mitigation techniques, radiation testing and space-grade memory technologies.

4. The differences between all space-grade ADCs/DACs and how to reduce the size, cost, weight and power consumption of satellite transponders.

5. The differences between isolated DC-DCs, linear and switching POLs, and how to select the most suitable device for your next project. Which parts not to use?

6. Right-first-time PCB layout for space applications: component placement, routing, layout and design-for-EMC using optimum PCB stack-up, thermal management and pre & post-layout verification - how to ensure your Space Electronics will be delivered to cost and right-first-time!

The three-day program comprises our FPGA, Mixed-Signal and Power training courses: you can book any individual day, any two, or the complete three-days. The courses include videos, immersive exercises and demonstrations of test equipment and EDA software solving real problems currently being faced by the space industry. Places can be purchased by emailing events@spacechips.co.uk.

Spacechips' training courses are unique and not offered by anyone else in the world! Numbers are limited to give you a personal and interactive education experience, and all attendees receive a personal bound copy of the training notes. We have taught over 800 space professionals in 16 countries, including 65 companies and 8 space agencies, teaching to professionals in Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Holland, India, Israel, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Spain, Turkey, UK and USA.

The three-day course will be taught by our CEO, Dr. Rajan Bedi. Previously, Rajan headed Mixed-Signal Space Electronics Design at Airbus Defence & Space in the UK for twelve years designing the Space Electronics for telecommunication, Earth-Observation, navigation and science missions. Rajan is also the author of, Out-of-this-World-Design, the popular  award-winning blog on Space Electronics, which has been read over eight million times. Rajan has designed Space Electronics for over 70 missions.

Introducing RFSoC

Integrating GSPS ADCs and DACs with Xilinx's programmable MPSoC fabric reduces physical footprint and chip-to-chip latency, completely eliminating the external digital interfaces between the mixed-signal convertors and the FPGA. RFSoC will enable the next generation of ground-segment electronics.
