ITARFor US components ITAR free today does not mean ITAR Free tomorrow.
Non Dependence technology: An alternative can be implementing the system on a
Radiation Hard ASIC using non-ITAR technologies by ARQUIMEA.
In 2006, During the political crisis between US and Europe due to 2nd Iraqui War, shipments of 54SX FPGAs where delayed by US DOD during 2 months.
No European satellite could be finished on time.
Wolfgang Veith, ESA's head of product assurance and safety, says: ‘ITAR Components increases the risk, both programmatic and technological. It's programmatic risk in the sense that it inevitably leads to extended procurement times. And the lifecycle of each component must be tracked to a large level of detail, from design to integration to testing to launch.'
MIXED SIGNAL ASIC TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Antenna ManufacturerActive antennas used in satellites, are an array of different transmitter/receivers which have to be controlled independently. To reduce mass, size and power consumption an ASIC can be developed to control each of the this sections.
Mixed Signal ASIC typical applications
Remote Terminal UnitsEarth-observation satellites or space telescopes uses large format focal planes, based on an array of CCDs. Each of these CCDs need specific circuitry which can be efficiently implemented to be placed on the back of each CCD, leading to a light, small and power saving design.
Telecom Satellites require highly complex remote terminal Units and Payloads
Mixed Signal ASIC typical applications
Instrument Control UnitsEarth Observation satellites, landers, planet probes and others, commonly need systems which need to process and acquire data from different sensors.
As the number of sensor can be high, having each of them different electrical characteristics, integrated acquisition systems can be implemented on an ASIC, allowing centralized acquisition, simplifying data architectures, and adding features as online data processing among others.

CONCLUSIONS
• Mixed signal ASICs are postulated as an alternative solution to current procurement ISSUES: space devices availability, ITAR/ European dependence, OBSOLESCENCE, Power reduction Mass reduction, Performance increase and Current Monopoly cases.
• Typical ASICs development programme risks can be mitigated by innovative ASICS design strategies (ASIC re-configurability, re-usability, portability and radiation hardening tailoring).
• Foundries pre-selection, testing optimisation, assembly standardisation will also reduce risks for coming ASICs development programmes.
• Several applications are susceptible of being implements in a ASIC with potential technical, economic and programmatic advantages.
• State of the Art of ASICS and design technologies allows the development of ITAR free rad hard mixed-signal components in Europe.
