Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about A1013Q Universal Four-Port Chip
Which processors is the A1013Q compatible with?
The A1013Q supports multiple aerospace-grade processor interfaces, including the 80C32E, DSP6701, and SoC2008. It communicates over RS-422 and provides four independent serial channels with 16 programmable baud rate settings.
How much buffering does each serial channel provide?
Each of the four channels includes a 256-byte transmit FIFO and a 256-byte receive FIFO. The chip also supports word lengths from 5 to 8 bits, selectable parity check modes, and 1, 1.5, or 2 stop bits.
What temperature range can the A1013Q operate across?
The A1013Q operates from -55 to +125 C and can be stored from -65 to +150 C. It is built on 0.13 um process technology and rated to CAST C quality grade for aerospace use.
Does the A1013Q have flight heritage?
Yes. The A1013Q first flew in 2016 and is used in microsatellites and embedded electronic systems. It is delivered in a CPGA84 package weighing about 12 g.
