This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Pacific Microchip Corp. for the development of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for Kinetic Inductance Detector (KID) readout electronics. The ADC is required to have features such as radiation hardness, low power consumption, high resolution, and high sampling rate to support space-based photometer and spectrometer instruments for astrophysics and remote sensing applications. The $755,000 firm fixed price contract calls for the design, development, and prototyping of a 12-bit, 1 GSPS ADC that consumes less than 100 mW of power and achieves a signal-to-noise and distortion ratio of at least 65 dB, with tolerance to 100 kRad of total ionizing dose radiation. The contract builds on Phase I feasibility work and is intended to result in silicon-proven ADC prototypes ready for commercialization in Phase III.
