Here are the details:\n\n- Location: Carleton Ha ll\, room 139 [ยป find entrance on map (via OpenStreetMap)](https://www.op enstreetmap.org/directions?from=&to=45.947041%2C-66.641521#map=18/45.94723 1/-66.641594)\n- Time: 15 Oct\, 2026\, 13:15โ€‰โ€“โ€‰14:15\n- Abstract: Se miconductor circuits have become essential in many industries including sp ace. However\, their faulty operation may occur as a result of their expos ure to environmental impacts. In this seminar talk\, we will review some o f their physical principles and observe how these can intervene with relia ble operation in orbit. Equipped with this understanding\, we will take a look at the opportunities of undervolting and introduce a feasibility stud y in the context of the payload [RISA (Reliability Investigation of Low Po wer FPGAs for Space Applications)](https://www3.tuhh.de/e-exk3/Research/RI SA/) for the PLUTO technology demonstrator satellite.\nRISA tests the suit ability of low-power FPGAs for use in space missions and evaluates mechani sms for detecting errors. RISA payload will provide important findings for the reliable use of Low-Power FPGAs in space environments.\nPresentation followed by Q&A\n\nRoom: 139\, Bldg: Carleton Hall\, 19 Macaulay Lane\, Th e University of New Brunswick\, Fredericton\, New Brunswick\, Canada\, E3B 5A3 LOCATION:Room: 139\, Bldg: Carleton Hall\, 19 Macaulay Lane\, The Universit y of New Brunswick\, Fredericton\, New Brunswick\, Canada\, E3B5A3 ORGANIZER:chris.rouse@unb.ca SEQUENCE:20 SUMMARY:Undervolting Investigation on Low-Power FPGAs in Space URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/583763 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>UNB's Electronics in Remote and Adverse Su rroundings research group is hosting Dr. Ulf Kulau from TUHH\, Germany.
