ETW 2011 Preliminary Call for Participation
PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
This is the preliminary call for participation in the NEPP Program's Electronic Technology Workshop. The meeting will be held on June 28-30, 2011 at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD. This meeting will provide a wide dissemination to the aerospace community beyond the parts, packaging, and radiation specialists on current and future issues impacting space system design and reliability.
Why attend? This meeting will discuss the two sides of the NEPP Program's efforts agency-wide.
- Assurance:
Issues that are applicable to space systems being designed and built (i.e., currently available technologies) - New electronics technologies:
Issues that are applicable to the next generation of space systems in conceptualization or preliminary design
Come hear the latest NEPP research on radiation, reliability, and qualification methods for space electronics. Topics may include (but not limited to):
- State-of-the-art commercial devices:
- Memory technologies and qualification
- Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs)
- Non-hermetic package qualification, power and thermal challenges, complexity, radiation
- Advanced CMOS (digital) process technologies
- Emerging radiation effects, test, and performance prediction guidance
- Qualification and failure analysis challenges
- System on a chip (SOC) challenges
- Area array packages
- Column grid arrays, failure modeling
- Alternate device technologies
- GaN, SiGe, SiC, phase change, magnetoresistive, ferroelectric
- Advanced mixed signal devices
- Hybrid and monolithic power devices:
- Point-of-load DC-DC converters, DC-DC converters, Power MOSFETs
- Extended Environments:
- Advanced mixed signal devices and sensors
- Radiation Hardness Assurance:
- Hydrogen, enhanced low dose rate (ELDRS), proton test guidance
- Information dissemination
- NEPP website, NASA Electronic Parts Assurance Group (NEPAG)
- Photonics and Sensors:
- Fiber optic qualification standards
- Visible and Infrared Imagers and ROICs
- Passives, lead-free initiatives, connectors, and more!
Format will be 2.5 days of presentations. A panel discussion is TBD.
To attend this meeting you MUST:
Pre-register (there is no registration fee, however), but space is limited
Non-U.S. citizens are allowed, but must follow the instructions on the NEPP website
