Indonesian Minister of Manpower and APO Secretary-General Discuss Expanded Collaboration for Productivity Enhancement

“On behalf of the Indonesian government, we appreciate the continued support of the APO, particularly in the demonstration projects on PVC solar panels in the TVET center in Sorong, West Papua, completed 2021, and GP Specialist Certification Body development program with the formation of the Professional Certification Agency for Productivity in the Indonesian National Productivity Organization,” the Minister stated. She added that, “Indonesia’s national plan 2020–24 includes formulation of productivity measurement at provincial and sectoral levels; implementation of productivity gainsharing; reformulation of minimum wage calculation by incorporating productivity-based performance; and expansion of productivity networks through developing a database and application system.”
“The APO is pleased that projects were successfully implemented in Indonesia during 2021–22 and has prepared proposals for projects in 2023,” responded Secretary-General Dr. Indra. He appreciated Indonesia’s continued support and cooperation and shared ideas on future programs, covering millennial leaders to drive rural development, tourism 4.0, and women’s leadership in public-sector organizations.

Teledyne e2v’s EV10AS940 the latest advanced 10-but broadband data converter
Remarkable direct conversion microwave RF sampler works up to beyond 35 GHz
Eliminate signal baluns and immediately gain multi-band operation simplifying next generation broadband receivers
- EV10AS940 is a paradigm shifting, single-channel sampler – operating across L- through to Ka-band. It provides:
- up to 6 GHz instantaneous bandwidth supporting all current radio link needs
- samples up to ~ 13 GS/s
- Slashes power consumption by a factor 5 x (to < 2.5 W/ch)
- Demonstrates novel single-ended design to ease analog circuitry (removes the need for baluns)
- Heralds a decade of new SoftSats and software defined designs
Novel broadband sampler enables direct microwave conversion
Grenoble, Frances – Media OutReach – 5 December 2022 – Teledyne e2v today previews the future availability of its EV10AS940 the latest advanced 10-bit broadband data converter. This device forms part of the company’s multi-year push into software defined microwave technologies and builds upon previously reported proof-of-concept work in this challenging and exciting field.

“The EV10AS940 represents a paradigm shift for microwave radio link engineers. For the first time, it is possible to conceive of simple radio designs where frequency planning is entirely abstracted to the digital domain.”
Highlighted Nicolas Chantier, Strategic Marketing Director.
About direct sampling
Conventional radio systems are still based on the heterodyne principle largely owing to existing component bandwidth limitations. Heterodyning is the process of mixing two signal frequencies in a non-linear mixer. For receivers, the lower frequency heterodyne signal lands within the baseband reception range – invariably defined by the input bandwidth of an A/D converter.
By moving to high bandwidth, direct conversion devices, it becomes possible to conceive of significantly simplified, software defined receivers with frequency agility. This is especially helpful when managing the considerable parallelism demanded of beam-steered applications.
Benefits of direct sampling
Frequency planning, signal demodulation, filtering and front-end design all benefit from direct sampling. Moreover, with a raft of integrated digital assist features this device enhances receiver operation. Four independent numerical controlled oscillators (NCOs) enable agile frequency hopping. A programmable digital down converter (DDC) provides a variety of decimation intervals (from 1 to 1024). The device connects via license-free ESIstream serial links to FPGA-based signal processing. Additionally, an easy-to-use, multi-channel synchronization facility guarantees synchronous sampling across a plurality of devices – ideal in phase sensitive, beam steered systems.
A less obvious advancement
This sampler institutes a major front-end architectural change. By migrating to single-ended (SE) design rules for the clock and signal lines, frequency dependent baluns can be eliminated. Those components add both cost and weight whilst band limiting frequency selection. This is a big deal, since baluns negatively impact upon dynamic performance and simultaneously prevent multi-band operation.
Device availability
Teledyne e2v are highlighting the imminent availability of evaluation silicon. A first public demonstration is planned during Electronica 2022 in Munich, Germany (15-18th November). First customer samples will follow shortly in Q3 2023.

Teledyne e2v’s 8 GB DDR4 memory into Space
Space Edge Computing Boosted by Teledyne e2v’s new 8 GB DDR4 Memory
Ultra-compact, resilient, dynamic memory boosts advanced space projects & space-based communication, observation and scientific satellites
8 GB DDR4 Engineering Models (EMs) available now, Flight Models (FMs) due in 2024
Grenoble, France – Media OutReach – 5 December 2022 – Teledyne e2v today announces the introduction of an 8 GB Space DDR4 memory as part of its edge computing solutions for space. This announcement follows the successful conclusion of all internal de-risking activities, including Radiation/Latch-Up tests and preliminary Industrialization checks. As demand for compact, high-density memories surge, Teledyne e2v stresses that its latest memory chip is compatible with all contemporary high-end space processing components. The list includes processors from AMD/Xilinx VERSAL® ACAP, space FPGAs, MPSOCs, Microchip RT PolarFire®, together with many proprietary ASICs.

Ultra-fast, high-density 8 GB space DDR4 memory offers the same form factor and pin-to-pin compatibility to the earlier 4 GB option – making it the ideal enhancement for next generation spaceborne developments.
Modern satellite payloads store and shift vast amounts of data minute by minute, hour by hour; many missions, such as Earth observation, require tens of GB of storage. Consequently, these missions stress existing memory solutions regarding their bandwidth, access time, power consumption, physical size, and storage capacity. Furthermore, Micro- and Cube-Sats have specific size and power constraints, yet OEMs seek increasingly high memory bandwidths for real-time processing.
‘Fast DDR4 memory is a critical resource in modern data-intensive satellite systems. Complementing the 4 GB space DDR4, the new 8 GB version with FMs scheduled for 2024 doubles storage density in the same compact, pin-compatible form factor. Furthermore, with the specific temperature grades proposed and the qualification variants up to NASA level 1, Teledyne e2v offers the most ruggedized and versatile space memory product.’ Thomas Guillemain, Marketing & Business Development Manager, Data processing products.
The new 8 GB DDR4 memory is single-event latch-up (SEL) immune beyond 60 MeV.cm²/mg. Moreover, the device targets 100 krad total ionizing dose (TID) and SEU/SEE characterization beyond 60 MeV.cm²/mg. Physically, the 8 GB size matches the previous 4 GB version (i.e., 15mm x 20mm x 1.92mm) – doubling storage density yet maintains pinout compatibility. In addition, the memory supports a transfer rate of 2400 MT/s.
What is de-risking?
De-risking describes the internal engineering performed on new silicon products to validate their suitability for resilient space operations. In addition, space-grade components must pass a barrage of performance tests that stretch the target product’s operating envelope.
Device Availability (8 GB version)
The first engineering models are available in Q4 2022, with final flight models planned for the first half of 2024.
