When we talk about Aerospace, in today’s world, we mean the commercial avionic, space and new space (space 2.0) business. These are all demanding industries each with their own unique technical and commercial challenges. Today we take for granted a flight on a new efficient aeroplane or an internet connection in a remote location but behind these technical achievements stands a dedicated group of customers and suppliers.
Whether it is ground based, sea based, avionic or space, whether is an earth observation satellite, a telecomm or Global Positioning Satellite or even a trip to Mars and beyond - Avnet Silica has a wide range of products and expertise to support your needs. We offer the very best in technical and commercial support combined with world class logistics. Space graded parts and other semiconductor products supplied by Avnet Silica can be found in many applications where highest reliability is a must.
We are the partner of most of the biggest component suppliers to this markets enabling us to support a complete system level solution to our aerospace and defence customers.
Are you working on a space 2.0 project? Our Aerospace experts are ready to support your design.
On-Demand Webinars
We explore on-orbit SAR processing using a back-projection algorithm and outline its implementation on an AMD Versal™ adaptive SoC. We will also share an update on the space qualification of the XQR Versal™ adaptive SoCs, including the latest results on reliability and radiation performance. Join us as we hear the latest news from AMD on how their Versal adaptive SoCs provide an ideal platform for advanced signal processing in space-flight applications. Combining scalar and vector processing resources with traditional FPGA logic gates, memory, and DSP resources, these SoCs empower the integration of dense signal processing systems in challenging environments. AI Engines and FPGA Fusion for Efficient Compute In this informative webinar, AMD demonstrate a Space-Time Adaptive Processing algorithm design implemented on the AMD Versal devices. Join us for an update on Renesas' advanced power management, analog mixed signal, and RF products specifically designed, qualified and screened for space applications. Updates will also be provided on the latest reference designs, leveraging these different product categories, and summarising the three main product flows they release their products on: Radiation Tolerant & Hardened Plastic and traditional Radiation Hardened Hermetic. This presentation provides an overview of the features of the XQR Versal devices, with an update on radiation data for the 7nm Versal in proton environments. We will cover the latest qualification results, and describe the ecosystem of solutions. Renesas, Mercury, and Teledyne e2V all present an overview of their Versal for space solutions.

Addressing the processing needs of Space 2.0 applications
The heavens may be infinite, but in Earth’s neighbourhood things are getting crowded. Space 2.0, a new era of exploration and development driven more by commercial interests than government action, is fuelling rapid innovation in reusable rockets, satellite internet connectivity, Earth observation platforms, navigation, space tourism and many more applications. As a result, our skies are rapidly becoming much busier than ever before.

FPGAs fit for space
The arrival of Space 2.0 has democratised the use of satellites and opened up an array of applications that can be serviced by electronics in low-Earth orbit (LEO) as well as those on higher trajectories such as geosynchronous equatorial orbit (GEO). Although launch costs have fallen rapidly, development cost and time present their own challenges. Even if deployed in large constellations of several hundred satellites like some of the LEO communications networks now orbiting, space electronics designs are intrinsically low-volume applications.

Versal - Revolutionising Onboard Processing and AI in Space 2.0 Applications
Our space exploration and satellite technology landscapes are changing fast, ushering in what many refer to as Space 2.0.
This era emphasises higher processing power, AI-driven analytics, and increased autonomy for space missions. Unlike traditional space missions, which relied on extensive ground station communication and analysis, Space 2.0 requires real-time data processing, adaptive computing architectures, and radiation-hardened electronics that can withstand the harsh conditions of space.
AMD’s Versal adaptive SoCs — reconfigurable processing platforms designed for space-based AI, machine learning, and advanced onboard computing — are at the forefront of this evolution.

8 Things to Know About AMD’s Versal Adaptive SoCs and Their Role in Space 2.0
As satellite technology evolves and the demands of space exploration intensify, traditional processing architectures are no longer enough. The new era, often referred to as Space 2.0, calls for smarter, faster, and more resilient computing systems. At the heart of this transformation is AMD’s Versal Adaptive SoC platform. These reconfigurable devices are redefining what's possible in orbit, enabling real-time decision-making, advanced telemetry analysis, and scalable AI-driven applications. Whether you’re designing the next generation of Earth observation satellites or building autonomous deep-space systems, here are eight key things you need to know about how Versal is powering the future of space.
