Microcontrollers and Digital Signal Processor
SurveyTask 04-023
Description
Benefits

Distributed architectures typically require less
computational power than centralized
architectures and rely on micro controllers and
digital signal processors. DSPs and
microcontrollers are the backbone for disciplines
such as robotics and the automotive industry but
have limited space applications. This task will
focus on surveying industry for both DSPs and
microcontrollers to determine availability,
issues, and technology readiness for space
applications.
Increased NASA capabilities for distributed
architectures, sensors, and robotics
applications. Results from this study will
provide projects such as OSP, ISS, SLEP a
starting point when
Deliverables
BOK for current status of these technologies and
readiness for space applications.
