The Electronic Parts Engineering Office (Section 514) provides selection, evaluation, and acquisition of reliable electronic parts for JPL Missions. The Section develops, implements, and manages Electronic Parts Program Requirements and Plans for JPL Projects and Instruments. Section 514 supports designers in part selection and conducts review of part lists for compatibility with the intended space environment and mission life, provides acquisition of electronic parts, communicates with vendors to resolve issues and obtain parts on schedule, conducts radiation tests and provide characterization and analysis services, performs part performance and environmental evaluations and test, conducts and coordinates reliability tests and failure analysis, implements JPL’s Government-Industry Data Exchange (GIDEP) and NASA Alert programs, and provides inventory and records control of flight electronic parts. Section 514 also operates and maintains the Radiation Effects Laboratory, the Reliability & Failure Analysis Laboratory, and the Electronic Parts Flight Stores.
The Radiation Effects Group, with the support of David Aveline of section 332J, has completed assembly and verification of the section’s Laser Single Event Effects Simulation Facility. This facility uses picosecond laser pulses to simulate the effects of cosmic ray effects in semiconductor devices. This facility provides significant on lab capability for the [...]
Farokh Irom and Duc Nguyen participated in heavy ion measurements of flash memories for SMAP project at the European Space Agency (ESA) heavy ion facility located at Jyväskylä, Finland.
On December 15, 2009, Dr. Ramin Roosta hosted several representatives from Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) at JPL to discuss Ball Grid Array (BGA) and Ceramic Column Grid Array (CGA) requirements. JPL gave several presentations followed by some technical discussion. Dr. Ramin Roosta gave a presentation on the qualification and screening issues of Xilinx Virtex-4 [...]
Ramin Roosta (5141) presented on “Qualification & Screening Issues of Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGAs for Space Applications” at 2009 Microelectronics Reliability and Qualification Workshop (MRQW) in Manhattan Beach, CA on December 8-9, 2009. This was a discussion of the non-hermetic FPGA package for the latest mil/aero offering from Xilinx.
