Serial data interface for telecommunication satellites

Abstract

The transmitters and receivers to be installed in the satellites of the European data relay system are adjusted by means of a serial data interface. The adjustment consists of a telecommand function and a telemetry function. The serial data interface has been designed, processed and tested. The design was done by using Silvar Lisco software with the 3 mu m CMOS standard-cell library of Mietec.<>
