:::: Rad-Hard, High-Voltage Bias Circuitry for a MEMS Microgyroscope for Micronavigation Systems


A project funded by a NASA Research Award (NRA-99-OSS-05-1347) to NanoPower, Incorporated is concerned with developing a single SOAC solution to replace the current analog board-level electronics. Because of the system requirements for very low noise and for high voltage sensor bias, it is impractical to merely integrate the current analog design onto a single chip using traditional techniques. Thus, a new design is required.
 
:::: Study of a Thermal Transducer in an SOI CMOS Process for Electrical Isolation


This study deals with SOI CMOS-compatible electrical isolation. This research involves the study of thermal signals as a medium to achieve that isolation. This proposal describes the efforts surrounding a thermal transducer as part of the electrical isolation system. The proposed effort involves the simulation and modeling of a thermal transducer that converts an electrical signal to a thermal signal, propagates the thermal signal and then converts it back to an electrical signal.
