Spasic designs the PA01 — a radiation-hardened monitoring IC that replaces the discrete components inside satellite power supply units with a single chip.
Every satellite carries several power supplies, and each one needs current and voltage monitoring. Today that is built from dozens of discrete, largely non-European parts. The PA01 brings that monitoring onto a single radiation-hardened integrated circuit.
Designed for single-event-effect resistance on an SOI platform, hardened for the total ionising dose of the orbital environment.
Replaces roughly 70% of a power supply unit’s monitoring components — shunts, voltage dividers and transformers — simplifying the bill of materials and design time.
Fabricated by STMicroelectronics on a qualified rad-hard SOI process. A fully European supply chain, with no ITAR restrictions.
Configurable thresholds and microsecond-level alerts, so faults are caught at the chip rather than added on around it.
The technology began as a Hall-effect sensor prototyped and validated in the lab. Spasic was founded in 2026 to design it into a product.
Sensor element and analog chip design underway, backed by ESA Spark and Innofounder funding.
First silicon submitted to the foundry on the qualified rad-hard SOI process.
First chips received and functionally tested, ahead of a second and final prototype run.
Two founders covering the full stack — from the radiation-hard sensor element to the analog integrated circuit built around it.
MSc in physics, micro- and nanofabrication and space engineering. Built the working Hall sensor on a radiation-hard SOI platform — the core IP of the company. Leads sensor element design.
thomas@spasictech.comMSc in electronics and IC design. Worked on the power supply unit for the LISA mission, where the need for a dedicated power-monitoring chip first became clear. Leads analog chip design.
