SUMMARY:EXTREME ENVIRONMENT ELECTRONICS – SENSING IN THE HOTTER ZONES OF
  AIRCRAFT - Steve Riches\, GE Aviation\, Newmarket

DESCRIPTION:Co-locating electronics with sensors in hotter environments in
  aero-engines can make the overall engine system more accurate\, reduce ca
 bling and offer weight/cost/fuel savings. However\, the hotter environment
  presents several challenges to conventional electronics and new semicondu
 ctors\, passive components and assembly techniques are required.\n\nThis p
 resentation will describe the work undertaken to design a high temperature
  electronics unit operating up to a temperature of 250oC\, taking the outp
 ut from several sensors\, carrying out the signal conditioning\, multiplex
 ing\, analogue to digital conversion and data transmission. Research into 
 developing autonomous high temperature sensors involving energy harvesting
  will also be presented.\n\nSteve has been an R&D Engineer at TWI and at G
 E Aviation.  He has managed several UK DTI collaborative projects and an E
 U Clean Sky Project in relation to high temperature electronics.  He prese
 nts regularly at conferences in the USA and UK.
