The GR716 is a rad-hard fault-tolerant microcontroller. With its support for many different interfaces and its market-leading radiation resilience, the GR716 is ideally fit for handling supervision and control tasks in any high-reliability application. | The GR716 is manufactured in two alternatives, the GR716A and the GR716B. While the two devices have a different set of capabilities, they are pin-compatible and are implemented in the same robust package. | |
The system on chip is based on the LEON3 SPARC V8 microprocessor with a long heritage in the space industry and the ability to leverage industry standard compilers, kernels and development tools. Quick Links |
