Radiationhardened processor system on chip SoC for commercial space uses introduced by Coherent Logix

AUSTIN, Texas – Coherent Logix Inc. in Austin, Texas, is introducing the radiation-hardened HyperX: Midnight system on chip (SoC) processor for commercial space applications like communications satellites. HyperX: Midnight offers as much as four times the computing throughput, half the power consumption, and a 40 percent lower price compared to leading radiation-hardened field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), company officials say. This enables greater capabilities to be packaged in smaller satellite bus sizes to help lower launch costs and accelerating industry growth.
