The space industry is an emerging industry worth US$447B in 2020 and projected to grow to multi-trillion dollars over the next decade [Source: Statista]. This is driven by growing needs for smaller and smarter satellites to provide communication, surveillance, and reconnaissance. There are also increased interests in MARS and lunar missions by various governments and private enterprises exploring space tourism and asteroid mining. This also means more advanced electronics and Commercial Off The Shelves (COTS) semiconductor devices are sent to space. ZES disrupts the space industry with Radiation Hardened by Design (RHBD) solutions to provide power reliability and data integrity to COTS ICs that allow satellite and space electronics to achieve longer lifetime, higher functionalities cum intelligence, reduced error and better power reliability.
Based on Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS)’s “Product Recall: Managing The Impact of the New Risk Landscape” that analyzed 367 insurance industry product recall claims from 28 countries across 12 industry sectors between 2012 and the first half of 2017, automotive recalls accounted for over 70% of the value of all losses analyzed. A recall can easily cost auto makers and automotive component manufacturers billions of dollars of claims that wipe off many years of profit.
Automotive electronics are susceptible to soft-error due to ionizing particles in the ambient air Radiation-based soft-error that can lead to automotive system malfunctions and possible loss of life that cost auto makers and automotive component manufacturers huge recall losses, both financially and in reputation. ZES digital solutions can achieve ultra-low soft-error (ULSE) (such as ~10 FITs, i.e., ~10 errors per billion hours of operation) with low Power x Delay x Area to ensure system data integrity.
Recent rise in super-app smartphones, Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing, battery powered electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems push up the demand for higher efficient power management solutions for longer battery life. The accessibility, affordability, and availability of 5G network services and soon to be 6G drives more mobile device adoptions and deployments of IoT applications in remote terrains. Longer battery life is becoming more critical than before.
Battery life can be extended with higher power efficiency of Direct Current – Direct Current (DCDC) Converter. DCDC market is worth US$9.9 billion with CAGR growth of +12.9% [Source: Reportlinker.com]. ZES power management solutions can achieve more than 90% power efficiency and yet remain low cost.
