SCS750A |
Super Computer for Space
The SCS750A offers the most
powerful solution available; capable of high end computer and
complex data processing for satellite applications. Using IBM's
PowerPC 750FX as its foundation has allowed the
SCS750A to achieve performance of up to 1800 MIPS, consuming
a mere 20 watts of power. Designed from the ground up to be
utilized specifically in a space environment, Maxwell has
developed the most advanced radiation mitigation
techniques-including Triple Modular Redundancy and
Reed-Solomon advanced error correction-to achieve upset rates
of 1 every 300 years. In addition, the SCS75A0 benefits from the
PowerPC 750's inherent radiation tolerance as a result of being
fabricated on a Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) substrate. Lastly,
because the SCS750A has been designed using a commercial
processor architecture, upgrades will be seamless to the
end-user and will allow Maxwell to continue to provide single
board computers to the space marketplace with unparalleled
performance, reliability and radiation hardness.
