Space-grade LVDS driver targets 600 Mbps satellite data links

Supporting higher data rates in orbit is becoming increasingly important as satellites handle more imaging, telemetry and inter-satellite communications. STMicroelectronics has introduced a space-qualified LVDS driver aimed at addressing these bandwidth and power constraints in radiation-heavy environments.

For eeNews Europe readers working on aerospace and defence platforms, the device reflects the continued push towards higher-speed data exchange with lower supply voltages in space-grade components. It also signals ongoing investment in QML-V qualified interface ICs for European space programmes.
