I am assessing potential microcontrollers for a low-cost CubeSat program. Cost and performance are major factors and the MSP430FR5738 has been identified as an attractive MCU. I noticed there is a "space-qualified" version for the MSP430FR5739. I would like some clarification on the differences between the MSP430FR5738 (or MSP430FR5739) vs. the space-qualified version. I assume it would use ceramic packaging to reduce outgassing, but is the radiation tolerance of MCU different between the standard and space-qualified versions? Thank you.
Hi Nelson,
You can learn more about our space-qualified parts by visiting the Aerospace & defense – Technical documents page. There, I found several documents that should be helpful.
The MSP430FR5739-EP is an enhanced product whereas the MSP430FR5969-SP is a radiation-hardened device. Both of these devices have plastic packages. On the MSP430FR5969-SP's product page, there are several radiation reports under the "Technical Documents" tab.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
James
