Intersil Unveils New Radiation Hardened Multiplexers for Space Flight Data Acquisition Systems
2015-07-13 18:09:11| Semiconductors - Topix.net
The ISL71840SEH 30V 16-channel multiplexer is a drop-in replacement for Intersil's widely adopted HS9-1840ARH, which has been aboard nearly every satellite and space exploration mission, including NASA's recent Orion spacecraft flight test. For applications with form factor constraints, the new ISL71841SEH 30V 32-channel multiplexer offers high performance and 41% reduced board space compared with an ISL71840SEH two-chip solution.
