(MAPLD Conference)
Position papers are being solicited for the 1998 MAPLD conference on the following topics:
Non-hermetic Packaging for Military and Aerospace Electronics
and
Configuration Storage Technology for Programmable Devices
Position papers may be submitted by any conference attendee and will be included in the
published conference proceedings. Submittals in electronic formats are encouraged as the
proceedings will be published both in hardcopy and on CD-ROM. Papers should be from four
to eight pages in length.
The deadline for submission is September 14, 1998 - all authors are encouraged to submit their paper by September 7; based on the received manuscripts, panel discussions may be formed. All papers should be sent to Martha O'Bryan @ martha.obryan@gsfc.nasa.gov. Ms. O'Bryan can also be reached at (301) 286-1412 for any questions.
Non-hermetic Packaging for Military and Aerospace Electronics
Papers for this topic should address applications ranging
from land vehicles, aircraft, and space vehicles and radiation issues for certain
applications. Key issues are reliability as well as assembly and maintenance procedures
ensuring environmental protection of the device as well as outgassing. Case studies of use
in actual programs may be included.
Configuration Storage Technology for Programmable Devices
A system's criticality is dependent on the particular class of mission and application. These missions include scientific instruments (low and high cost), critical control electronics on unmanned spaceborne platforms, manned spacecraft systems, unmanned weapons, civilian aircraft, and manned weapons platforms. Programmable devices can be configured by a number of technologies such as antifuse, EEPROM, flash, laser, or SRAM.
Papers for this topic should address the reliability of the
configuration technologies and discuss fault types, both transient and permanent,
detection schemes, mitigation techniques, system overhead, and mission impacts. For
radiation induced faults, failure rates can be discussed for different mission profiles.
Device response and reliability for other environmental conditions such as power
supply drop outs, ESD, etc., should be discussed.
