Abstract

The advent of large scale, mosaic focal planes has presented a serious challenge to sianal processing systems. The impact of VHSIC technology on the design of these systems is analyzed in light of experience on several programs. When VHSIC technology is applied, the architectures generally take the form of a high speed, VHSIC, pipeline signal processor followed by a data processor constructed of VHSIC general purpose computers. The increased speed and canability of the VHSIC aeneral purpose computers allows them to be moved forward in the architecture, much closer to the focal plane. VHSIC technology shrinks the logic components of the systems and leads to systems that are very memory intensive. The system impact of these memory intensive designs is analyzed. If VHSIC architectures are operated in space, they are susceptible to single event errors due to cosmic radiation. The impact of these errors on both logic and memory is discussed.
