Microchip Sets New Standard for Space Electronics With QML Class P/ESCC 9000P VSC8541RT and VSC8574RT Ethernet Transceivers
Microchip unveils QML Class P/ESCC 9000P qualified VSC8541RT and VSC8574RT Ethernet PHY transceivers, plus new SAMD21RT and SAMV71Q21RT MCUs, delivering robust, radiation-tolerant solutions for next-generation space missions and high-reliability applications.
QML Class P/ESCC 9000P qualification is a testament to the robustness and reliability of space products, ensuring they meet the rigorous standards required for space missions. This certification involves extensive testing, including Total Ionizing Dose (TID) and Single Event Effects (SEE) assessments, to guarantee these devices can withstand the harsh radiation environment of space. The QML Class P/ESCC 9000P standard also delivers long-term availability, traceability and performance consistency, providing confidence for mission-critical applications where reliability is paramount.
We are thrilled to announce the release of its first QML Class P/ESCC 9000P qualified devices: the VSC8541RTXMVRT-SP and VSC8574RT-XKS-SP Ethernet PHY transceivers, designed to meet the stringent demands of space applications. These new additions to our portfolio are specifically tailored for high-reliability data communication in low-earth orbit and beyond, representing a significant milestone in space-grade connectivity solutions.
The VSC8541RT is a single-port Ethernet PHY transceiver, while the VSC8574RT offers a quad-port solution. Both devices deliver data rates of up to 1 Gbps, enabling high-speed Ethernet connectivity for a range of space applications, from satellite subsystems and payloads to onboard networks. With their low power consumption and broad operating temperature ranges, these transceivers are suitable for missions where thermal management and power efficiency are crucial.
