Intelligent Memory Module Overcomes Harsh Environments

About this technology

Overview

3D Plus USA Inc., of McKinney, Texas, licensed Radiation Tolerant Intelligent Memory Stack technology from Langley for systems and methods to detect a failure event in field programmable gate arrays. In partnership with Langley, 3D Plus developed the first high-density and fast access time memory module tolerant of space radiation effects. This module decreases design complexity for space-based electronics requiring memory with its simple interface and internal radiation tolerance management. Expected applications include commercial or scientific geostationary missions and deep space scientific exploration, and high-reliability computing in other radiation-intensive environments like nuclear facilities.
