Ing.) -- University of Stellenbosch, 1996. A 64Mbyte solid-state memory module was successfully developed for dedicated use onboard the SUNSAT micro-satellite. Static random access memory (RAM) was chosen as the fundamental building block, following a trade-off study between Flash memory, dynamic RAM, static RAM, and a specific magnetic media memory called a Personal Storage Module. A prototype memory module was functionally tested and found to comply with the SUNSAT requirements for the system. The development memory module allows for access via four 8-bit data ports. One dedicated for high speed data retrieval, another for high speed data storage, and the remaining two ports for access by onboard computer systems. The required maximum sustained data transfer rate of 4.5Mbytes/second was tested upon integration into the engineering model of SUNSAT.
