Generic Electronic Interface Module (GEM) for High Temperature Actuators

Feb 2005:  TSi has been awarded a Phase I SBIR by NAVAIR. The objective of the proposed work is to develop and demonstrate an open systems solution to the problem of interfacing electronic controls to actuators in extreme environments in air vehicles. The main objectives of the Phase I effort is to develop and demonstrate the capabilities of a generic electronic interface module for actuators operating around 400 degrees F. In order to avoid the cost of developing a family of custom modules for interfacing with each type of actuator and sensor, our concept involves a generic module that can be reconfigured to interface with a large class of actuators and sensors using the available families of High Temperature electronic components.
