SINGAPORE, 26 February 2025 – Zero-Error Systems (ZES), a leader in high-reliability semiconductor for Power & Data management solutions, today announced the release of ZSOM™-F01. Supported by the Singapore’s Office for Space Technology and Industry (OSTIn), Singapore’s national space office, this is the space industry’s first radiation-tolerant System-on-Module (SOM) using a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) FPGA. Integrated with ZES’ proprietary radiation hardened devices for protection against micro-SEL, SEL & SEUs, the ZSOM™-F01 is the first in a series of FPGA-based radiation-tolerant SOMs that ZES plans to introduce to the market. This groundbreaking product will be available for customer testing in early April 2025.
The ZSOM™-F01 is a pre-integrated subsystem that combines core processing components with ZES’ radiation mitigation products on a single integrated module. This innovative approach significantly reduces the time, complexity and risks associated with developing satellite payload systems. The Radiation Hardened by Design (RHBD) platform extends satellite longevity by 3x, minimizing space debris while enhancing the return on investment of expensive payloads up to 4x.
“This product is an evolution in our product offering and reflects our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that address the demand for high-performing Radiation Tolerant Systems on Modules for space applications which are cost-competitive. Its powerful processing capabilities and compact design make it the perfect choice for designers who want to reduce their time to launch and enable edge computing platforms,” said Rajan Rajgopal, CEO of ZES.
“OSTIn congratulates Zero-Error Systems on the launch of the industry’s first COTS FPGA-based SOM. This innovative solution, developed in Singapore, will enhance efficiency, reliability, and accessibility for satellite and deep space missions. OSTIn is proud to support pioneering innovations like this, which underscores Singapore’s position as a hub for advanced space technology and semiconductor excellence.” said Jonathan Hung, Executive Director at OSTIn, Singapore’s national space office.
