Deep space initiatives including planetary exploration, orbiter missions and space research require innovative spacecraft-system technology providing connectivity and processing. To provide system designers with better integration and higher performance, while reducing development costs and time to market, COTS technologies and scalable solutions are increasingly used in space applications. Microchip Technology Inc. announced the qualification of its SAMRH71 Arm-based microprocessor (MPU) and the availability of the SAMRH707 microcontroller (MCU), both implementing Arm Cortex-M7 SoC radiation-hardened technology.
