Motion Control Solutions
PDC is a leading supplier of space qualified SBCs and radiation hardened components. Utilizing multiple radiation hardening techniques, PDC's space solutions incorporate one or more of the following elements: RAD-PAK® technology, Rad Hard by Design, Triple Mode Redundancy (TMR), and Error-Correction Codes (ECC). PDC's space-qualified and field proven solutions are engineered for space’s extreme environmental requirements, while reducing space, weight, and power consumption, along with total cost of ownership.
Satellites & Space Systems
PDC’s core competencies and unique suite of capabilities for the production of custom solutions span every stage of development including electrical design, mechanical design, test engineering, process engineering, manufacturing, and product assurance. PDC is uniquely qualified to support a wide range of application requirements and technologies based upon our decades of experience in analog and digital microelectronics, magnetics, power supplies, and radiation mitigation technology.
Custom Solutions
PDC Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) is ideally suited for space applications requiring high performance computing and high density memory storage. As microprocessors increase in speed and demand for higher density memory escalates, SDRAM has proven to be the ultimate solution by providing bitcounts up to 1.5 Gigabits and speeds up to 100 Megahertz. SDRAMs represent a significant advantage in memory technology over traditional DRAMs including the ability to burst data synchronously at high rates with automatic column-address generation, the ability to interleave between banks masking precharge time.
PDC patented RAD-PAK packaging technology incorporates radiation shielding in the microcircuit package. It eliminates the need for box shielding for a lifetime in orbit or space mission. In a typical GEO orbit, RAD-PAK provides greater than 100 krads(Si) radiation dose tolerance. This product is available with PDC’s self-defined Microelectronics Space Grade.
