Microsemi to Co-host 8th International SpaceWire Conference

Comprehensive Space Technology Conference Takes Place May 14-17 at the Westin Long Beach

ALISO VIEJO, Calif.

    WHAT:   Microsemi Corporation, a leading provider of semiconductor
            solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and
            performance, will be co-hosting SpaceWire 2018 with STAR-
            Dundee in Long Beach, California Monday, May 14 through
            Thursday, May 17, 2018. The conference aims to bring
            together product designers, hardware engineers, software
            engineers, system developers and mission specialists
            interested in and working with SpaceWire and SpaceFibre to
            share their latest ideas and developments.

           Jim Aralis, Microsemi's chief technology officer, will
            provide opening remarks at the event highlighting the
            company's 60 years of experience developing solutions
            enabling customers to meet the demanding requirements of the
            space market. Ken O'Neill, director of marketing, space and
            aviation at Microsemi, will share his expertise in a keynote
            presentation titled, "SerDes Single Event Effects in 65 nm
            Flash-based RTG4 FPGAs" and Julian DiMatteo, product
            marketing engineer at Microsemi, will be presenting a poster
            paper on the topic.

           RTG4(TM) field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) integrate
            Microsemi's fourth-generation flash-based FPGA fabric and
            high-performance interfaces such as serialization/
            deserialization (SerDes) on a single chip while maintaining
            the resistance to radiation-induced configuration upsets in
            the harshest radiation environments, such as space flight
            (LEO, MEO, GEO, HEO, deep space), high altitude aviation,
            medical electronics and nuclear power plant control.

    WHERE:  The 8th International SpaceWire Conference 2018 will be held
            at the Westin Long Beach hotel located at 333 E. Ocean Blvd,
            Long Beach, CA 90802.

    WHEN:   The conference begins with a SpaceFibre tutorial from 2-6
            p.m. on May 14 and continues May 15-17 from 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
            Microsemi will be presenting its RTG4 SerDes SEE results
            during the poster session, starting at 3 p.m. on May 17.

    WHO:    Attending the SpaceWire Conference is a must for product
            designers, hardware engineers, software engineers, system
            developers and mission specialists developing various space
            applications. Members of the media are also invited to
            attend. For questions about the event or registration,
            contact Leah Iris at leah.iris@microsemi.com.
