Historical MIMI Memos and Notes
LEMMS Application Specific Integrated Circuits
MIMI/LEMMS ASICS
- Screening of chips in progress: Flight parts will be available by the end of December 1994.
- ASICS board 3 design complete: Fabrication and assembly of the engineering model in one month.
- Possible development of flight programmable logic for LEMMS: The long duration of the mission might justify this development.
