This paper describes how a ferroelectric RAM from Ramtron has been used to increase the reliability of PiCPoT, a small satellite developed at Politecnico di Torino for educational purposes. It compares the FeRAM solution with respect to a FLASH one. The memories are used for saving housekeeping telemetry data while the satellite is far from the ground station. Due to the intrinsic radiation tolerance and the lower power consumption, FeRAM are very suitable for the application.

Abstract

This paper describes how a ferroelectric RAM from Ramtron has been used to increase the reliability of PiCPoT, a small satellite developed at Politecnico di Torino for educational purposes. It compares the FeRAM solution with respect to a FLASH one. The memories are used for saving housekeeping telemetry data while the satellite is far from the ground station. Due to the intrinsic radiation tolerance and the lower power consumption, FeRAM are very suitable for the application.
