CENTENNIAL, Colo., May 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ SEAKR
® Engineering, Inc. (SEAKR) is pleased to announce operational success of next generation commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) processing hardware as part of a risk reduction technology demonstration supporting the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency s (DARPA s) Blackjack Program. The Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) demonstration, known as Mandrake I, is a risk reduction mission in parallel to Blackjack s Pit Boss program featuring satellite integrated SEAKR technology advancements for radiation mitigation and processor performance validation. The fully operational orbital platform, launched Fall 2020, affords risk buy-down for future Blackjack payloads and has shown success executing a tactical maritime experiment demonstrating engineering complexities such as mission autonomy, over-the-air (OTA) updates, massless payload deployment, and sensor edge processing and exploitation, all of which are enabled by the SEAKR pa
Microchip Announces the Expansion of Its Radiation-Hardened Arm® Microcontroller (MCU) Family for Space Systems
Designers can benefit from another step in the Arm Cortex®-M7-based system-on-chip (SoC) commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) to rad-hard scalable solutions with the addition of embedded analog capabilities
CHANDLER, Ariz., April 27, 2021 Deep space initiatives including planetary exploration, orbiter missions and space research require innovative spacecraft system technology providing connectivity and processing. To enable system designers better integration and higher performance while reducing development costs and time to market, COTS technologies and scalable solutions are increasingly used in space applications. Microchip Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MCHP) today announced the qualification of its SAMRH71 Arm-based microprocessor (MPU) and the availability of the SAMRH707 microcontroller (MCU), both implementing Arm Cortex-M7 SoC radiation-hardened technology.

THX is of course a well-known name in the audio space but now they’re moving into the consumer electronics space. A new device called THX Onyx is something that you can attach to your smartphone, tablet, or computer so you can get a high-quality audio experience through its tiny Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) with the THX AAA amplifier tech. If you’re an audiophile that has been bemoaning the loss of audio quality for mobile devices, then this is a device that may interest you.
High-res audio on mobile devices is not that popular now and streaming sites compress most of the titles in their library so listening to music at a high resolution on your phone or tablet can be tricky. The THX Onyx can give you a simple audio upgrade just by attaching it to your mobile device or computer. The device has THX’s highest-powered mobile amp with “Achromatic Audio Amplifier” (AAA) support, THX AAA-78.
