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
The SCS750® series single board computer for space is PDC's answer to the space industry's need for medium- to high-performance computing. The SCS750 series combine the latest generation of IBM PowerPC® processor with large amounts of volatile and non-volatile storage and a variety of interfaces in an industry standard 6u cPCI form factor. Any radiation upset (SEU) is transparently corrected. The user never has to worry about executing a bad instruction or accessing corrupt information. Software development is simplified by using the industry standard VxWorks operating environment. The SCS750's powerful processing capability and high availability make it the ideal choice for data processing or spacecraft control applications. PDC’s single board computers utilize reliable silicon-on-insulator Power PC processors and radiation hardened parts, including PDC’s RAD-PAK® memories, in conjunction with triple redundant processing algorithms that provide comprehensive error detection and correction. These features enable PDC’s single board computers to achieve the best SEE performance (less than one error in 80 years) to yield high performance low-risk (TRL-9) computing solutions for the most demanding space applications. Since inception, more than 20 years ago, our electronic components and single board computers have experienced zero failures in space.
