• No Protest from Arm Cortex-M0 MCU in Berkeley
    Last week we were pulling the nightshift in Cave 4B at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, using the 88-Inch Cyclotron facility to perform Heavy Ion Testing on the VA10820 Arm Cortex-M0 based microcontroller...
  • ARM Cortex-M0 MCU set to Conquer Space
    It was a thrill for us that a VORAGO Technologies ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller was part of the payload that was rocketed to the International Space Station on the SpaceX Falcon 9 this week. Space electronics...
  • Optimizing Power Consumption on Your Cortex-M0 Design
    Many of the engineers that are working on designs using the ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller care deeply about power consumption. This is particularly true for designers who use the VORAGO Technologies...
  • SmallSat Electronics Ecosystem Expands with new Arm Cortex-based Reference Design
    Last week I attended the SmallSat symposium in Mountain View. This is the first of around half a dozen Small Satellite conferences that I’ll attend in 2018. That sounds like a lot of small satellite conferences...
  • Avoiding the Faults That Can Occur in our Stars
    It has long been common knowledge that particle strikes can flip bits in memory arrays and disrupt code execution. This is a common event in space, is somewhat common when travelling on aircraft and will...
