ALTER offers a global solution to COTS components testing, such as life cycle (obsolescence) or counterfeit detection, integrating all required steps into the supply and testing chain and providing alternative solutions and risk-mitigation strategies
The Quality Assurance in EEE parts is a major aspect to take care in the procurement for EEE parts. One family of EEE parts widely used are the Operational Amplifiers which are in much different equipment’s of satellites electronics
JUICE - JUpiter ICy moons Explorer - is the first large-class mission in ESA's Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 programme. Planned for launch in 2022, it will take 7 years to reach Jupiter in 2029. It will spend at least three years making detailed observations of the giant gaseous planet Jupiter and three of its largest moons, Ganymede, Callisto and Europa.
Silicon Schottky diodes are widely used in applications where high-speed switching is required to achieve more efficient systems due to their fast recovery time and low forward voltage. However, this type of diode has a lower reverse voltage (with a maximum typically around 100 V) than conventional rectifier diodes. Furthermore, the leakage current losses are higher.
Alter Technology (formerly Optocap), is a leader in the design, manufacture and test of High Reliability Micro and Optoelectronics modules for Harsh Environments. We have experience in a number of high reliability and harsh environment markets such as Aerospace & Defence, Space, Oil & Gas
Power management in space applications is related with multiple critical functions as energy storage, conditioning its distribution and conversion from higher to lower levels, feeding all kinds of electronic modules in equipment’s that can be integrated in a launcher (with short duration usage) up to probes or space stations ( with decades of usage).
Advances in MLCC manufacturing have resulted in significant improvements in the voltage and capacitance capability to be packaged into ever-smaller capacitor case sizes. These advances have also positively affected Discoidal capacitors, used in most bulkhead mounted EMI Suppression Filters.
