Teledyne e2v in Grenoble is radiation testing a multicore ARM processor for space designs.
The LX2160 has 15 ARM Cortex-A72 processor cores that provide 200k DMIPs of performance for servers and AI processing in space.
The chip uses the WRIOP capable to handle high-speed peripherals including 100 GbE, multiple PCIe Gen3.0, hardware L2 switching, DPAA2 with 100 Gbps decompression/compression, and 50 Gbps Encryption engine. This is also complemented by a dual CAN interface, as well as UART, SPI, and I²C. It targets a wide range of Edge computing applications, high-end and high-speed communications in one device with a power envelope of 2W per core.
Teledyne e2v is currently offering engineering space models built from a non-space grade batch with the same fit/form/function as flight models. This enables early project design, hardware and software validation for space-demanding applications.
Terrestrial Networks) satellite communications (SatComs). With its 200k DMIPS capabilities, the processor is also suitable for handling compute-intensive data and image processing tasks. Its rich set of peripherals and high efficiency versus power consumption per core of around 2W provide embedded engineers with unparalleled performance in the smallest form factor and optimized power envelope.
The company offers the LX2160 as a fully military-qualified device and the LX2160-Space devices are being characterised for radiation performance, with some reports already been made available to customers. Teledyne e2v proposes to have a range of radiation-tolerant space grades qualified up to NASA Level 1 for H2 2025.
“We are really proud to have achieved the milestone of LX2160-Space Engineering Models availability, since we see a tremendous interest in this device. Indeed, with Telecom Satellites having to deal with more data packets to process at a higher speed, Earth Observation satellites handling bigger sensor resolutions and higher frame rate requirements, and bottom line an increased amount of data to perform autonomous decisions on board including running AI algorithms, LX2160-Space is the right processing chipset for Space applications, » said Thomas Guillemain, Marketing & Business Development Manager, Data, Processing Systems.
LX2160-Space will be available in several Space Grades, from New Space to the highest NASA 1 level for deep space missions out in the solar system.
