Issue 45 of EUROPEAN PREFERRED PARTS LIST (EPPL)

The changes in issue 45 of EUROPEAN PREFERRED PARTS LISTS (EPPL) are included in the DCR 1525 and detailed herein below:

New entries EPPL part 1:

• STMicroelectronics’s proprietary C65SPACE Technology is a CMOS Radiation Hardened 65nm silicon technology ESCC QML qualified. Using this technology, STMicroelectronics offers Radiation Hardened ASIC Platform assembly in CQFP-352 or CLGA-625 included in the detail specification ESCC 9202/086.
• NX1H35AS Radiation Hardened FPGA with 3M Gates and 2856Mb independent RAM from NanoXplore, assembly in CQFP-352 or CLGA-625 included in the detail specification ESCC 9304/010. NX1H35AS is based on STMicroelectronics C65SPACE ASIC platform technology.

• GR740 Quad Core LEON4 SPARC V8 Microprocessor from Cobham Gaisler. GR740 microprocessor is MIL QML qualified and listed in SMD 5962-21204.
• EV12AQ600AMGH‐Y Quad 12‐bit 1.6 GSps ADC with embedded cross‐point switch, digitizing up to 6.4 GSps from Teledyne e2v Semiconductors included in SMD 5962-21214.

About EUROPEAN PREFERRED PARTS LIST (EPPL)

The ESCC Executive publishes a list of components and technologies to be useful to space hardware manufacturers and projects in selecting EEE components.

Eligible components for listing in the EPPL are all EEE components categories as defined in ECSS-Q-ST-60. In addition, the following may also be listed in the EPPL: a semiconductor die, semiconductor foundry processes, hybrid assembly processes, ESCC Capability Approvals, and ESCC Technology Flow approvals.

The rules for establishing the list are defined in ESCC 12300.  The EPPL is made up of two parts:

• Part 1: components that are fully qualified or evaluated to recognized space standards (e.g., ESCC), giving full or high confidence for space usage.
• Part 2: The potential capability to satisfy space application requirements has been demonstrated but which have not yet achieved space qualification.
