Space applications are one of the most demanding electronics arenas. Satellite solutions need to be rad-hard, have a long lifetime and meet stringent power and weight requirements. This is especially true for analog electronics.

In this webinar we will find out how precision analog, space and space-enhanced parts make the designer’s job easier. We will check out Texas Instruments’ support and simulation environment for designing an analog front end for a precision data acquisition system.

We will dive into several design examples related to satellite health monitoring, telemetry and control:

• Fast overcurrent event detection that creates an alert signal in under 5µs
• Linear Thermoelectric Cooler (TEC) Driver Circuit with high accuracy and stability and minimized noise emissions
• Current measurements from very low currents of only a few microamperes up to 2 A bi-directional with better than 0.5% accuracy
