A Primer for Telemetry Interfacing in Accordance with NASA Standards Using Low Cost FPGAs

Jake A. McCoy, Ted B. Schultz, James H. Tutt +3

Photon counting detector systems on sounding rocket payloads often require interfacing asynchronous outputs with a synchronously clocked telemetry (TM) stream. Though this can be h…
