1. Introduction
Microwave Remote Sensors Area of Space Applications Centre (SAC, ISRO) is engaged in the
development of a number of state of the art microwave imaging and other remote sensing
payloads for various civilian applications like agriculture, urban and geological studies, soil
moisture studies, disaster monitoring and support and so on.
Microwave remote sensing payloads, which have advantages like day-night operation and ability
to work through cloud-cover, are highly data intensive, both in terms of speed and quantum of
data generated per scene or observation. During the development of the microwave remote
sensing payloads high-speed high-capacity data recorders are routinely necessary from
subsystem level development and testing (Digital Subsystem of DSS) to complete payload testing
characterization and evaluation. Also many airborne payloads like the Airborne synthetic
aperture Radars for Disaster Monitoring need the recorders as part of the payload for data
gathering missions. The programme may feed into space borne applications in the future.
MRSA has developed the solid-state recorder domain for such purposes and proposes to involve
reputed Indian vendors from the Industry having relevant experience for the realization of such
SSRs.
This Request for proposal (RFP) document provides the details of the work involved, mode of
operation, responsibility, delivery schedule, tendering procedures etc.
This is a two-part tender. The Vendor shall submit proposal in two parts
- Technical Proposal
- Commercial Proposal
Two Options of the modus operandi are being considered. In Option I, the PCB and enclosure
form the free-issue material (FIM) from SAC to the successful bidder for carrying out the work,
and procurement of all other components is his responsibility. In Option II, all components
necessary for the work shall be issued by SAC as FIM, and the vendor only performs the
fabrication/assembly work (while taking care any consumables or fabrication materials
necessary). In both cases testing the hardware as pert he provisions of this RFP is Vendor’s
responsibility. Bidders need to quote for both options.

2. Overview of the SSR
2.1 Technical Description.
The SSR in question is a single-board entity on an MLB (12-layer or higher) with a large number
of components. Fig 1 shows a block diagram of the recorder hardware.
The SSR is configured around a Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGA, which acts as the master controller as well
as data highway between the input and the storage medium, a bank of ONFI NAND flash devices.
This FPGA performs the overall coordination, command decoding, distribution of incoming high
speed data to various flash devices and subsequent data retrieval through USB 2.0 port. A total
of 36 NAND flash devices have been used to achieve a sustained data rate of up to 1.0. Figure-1
shows the overall block diagram of this SSR, which operates on a single raw bus supply (9-36)
volts, internally isolated. All power supply conditioning and derivation of different supply voltages
required for the operation of the FPGA and other devices are internally generated from a master
step-down 5V isolated DC/DC convertor using POL power conditioning philosophy .
Fig. 1. A block diagram of the Solid State Recorder
Page 7
The recorder accepts high-speed data from Serializer-Deserializer (SerDes) on to an interfacing
SERDES part TLK2711 (thorugh two PCB mount SMA connectors for a differential input of 100 Ω
or two 50Ω lines); the output of the SERDES is received in the FPGA, double buffered and then
distributed to multiple flash memories in parallel for writing at a slower speed. Open NAND Flash
Interface (ONFI) protocol has been used for all communication with flash devices. A Windows
XP/7 based Graphical User Interface (GUI) generates all the commands required for end-to-end
operation of the SSR. This SSR board is a dense 12-layer (or higher) PCB comprising of Ball Grid
Array (BGA) FPGA device as well as multiple NAND flash devices. To optimally utilize the PCB area,
18 NAND flash chips have been mounted on the top side of the PCB and same number of chips
has been mounted on the bottom side. These large numbers of NAND flash devices help in
increasing the input data rate handling capability as well as increase the data storage capacity of
the board.
Inputs to the SSR can also be through RS232, 422 and LVDS serial sources, or LVDS 16-bit parallel
sources, and these are interfaced through PCB mount Standard-D type connectors.
Data retrieval from the SSR is through a FTDI USB2.0 interface module which is integrated on to
the main board. This takes in parallel data from the FPGA during data retrieval and pushes it
into a PC through proprietary data retrieval software running in the PC.
Fig. 2. The completed SSR
Page 8
2.2 PCB and Component Placement
The SSR is built on a multi-layer board (12 Layers or higher, which is part of FIM) of dimensions
150x200mm and has all components mounted on two sides of the PCB. In the picture above, the top
side of the PCB is shown. It may be noted that the image represents a previous version of the SSR
and although very similar, is not an exact replica of the PCB to be used in this contract.
The main logic backbone of the operation, the FPGA a BGA 1148-pin package, is on the top side as
are POL regulator (LGA/PTH packages) generating the various voltages required by the board. The
flash devices (TSOP48) are distributed along the long edges of the PCB; 36 devices are distributed as
4 rows (two on top side, two on bottom side). All connectors are distributed on the two shorter edges
of the PCB on top side only.

Page 20
3. Scope of work
The scope of work is fabrication of the solid-state recorders from MRSA-SAC supplied
information, and material (FIM) as well as material procured by the vendor (as the case may be),
test the hardware and supply the finished products.
There are two options under consideration:
3.1 Option I
Part of the material (viz, PCB and mechanical enclosure and test software/firmware) necessary
for the fabrication will be provided by MRSA-SAC as FIM (Free-Issue Material); the successful
bidder shall procure all other components and other items (including any necessary consumables)
and fabricate the SSR units. The following presents the details of the scope of work; however it
may be noted that the successful bidder shall be responsible for the realization and delivery of
the tested hardware proper, in material and spirit, notwithstanding any missing steps of the
process in the following.
1. Cross-check the BOM and the PCB layout with reference to every component on the board
and get clarifications if necessary from MRSA-SAC. The BOM shall then be certified by
MRSA-SAC as well as the vendor and serve as the “Approved BOM” (A-BOM)
2. Procure and complete incoming inspection of all electronic components (active, passive etc)
necessary as per the A-BOM.
3. Populate the PCB using proper techniques, materials and applicable vendor’s QC and QA
procedures. MRSA-SAC recommends that the populating of the PCBs shall be done in stages
as shown in the suggested flow of fabrication with intermediate electrical testing schedules.
The first unit shall be fabricated as per the MRSA-SAC supplied flow. However it may be
noted that the vendor is free to combine some or all stages as deemed fit for further units
with the understanding that the responsibility of producing completely tested and
functional units rests with him.
4. Functional Testing at card level after completion of all mounting activity, as per the Schedule
of Card-Level Tests.
5. Wired card assembly in the mechanical enclosures followed by card-level testing (as per the
schedule of Post-Production acceptance) with test report generation.
6. Review of the test reports and giving shipment clearance by MRSA-SAC
7. Delivery of units at SAC with test reports by the vendor.
Page 21
The vendor shall provide justification at the time of bidding showcasing his capability for carrying out
each of the above activities including the methods of implementation and necessary technical
expertise to build, optimize, test and deliver the products.
Notes.
1. The bill of materials of the SSR provided in this RFP is meant for commercial cost estimation
purposes, and does not constitute the assembly BOM. The assembly BOM may have very
minor variations in the quantities of the components (of passive/low-cost components only),
and the differences are expected to be very marginal and of no significant commercial
consequence.
2. Vendor must have all necessary fabrication facilities, proper equipment, materials/tools for
the assembly, handling and testing.
3. The vendor shall have experience of having worked on digital boards of similar complexity
(high-density FPGAs like the Virtex/Kintex series of Xilinx or equivalent with high serial data
speeds.
4. Any custom test set-ups/jigs and other specific material including cables necessary for the
execution of this work including the testing phase shall be arranged by the vendor. Such
material shall be part of the delivery to SAC at the conclusion of the contract.
5. The detailed specifications in this document may be updated and finalized by SAC before
finalization of the contract. Any changes necessitated during the developmental phases will
be mutually discussed and agreed upon.
6. SAC reserves the right to participate/audit/review the progress of work at defined stage of
development and testing.
7. Free Issue material: Components supplied by SAC should be considered as Free-Issue
Material (FIM) to vendor. Vendor is required to submit a bank guarantee for the FIM supplied
by the SAC The value of the bank guarantee shall be as per SAC purchase procedure against
FIM.
8. Precautions in the Assembly Process
The Board has POL DC/DC convertors whose voltages are dependent on the values of
certain components like resistors on the board. A mistake in any one of these
components may lead to generation and dissemination of harmful supply voltages on
the board leading to extensive damages. Bidders are cautioned against such a
possibility and advised take adequate precautions. Any damage arising out of such an
eventuality will be the vendor’s responsibility.
Page 22
The assembly process may involve multiple types of soldering processes; consequently
there may be a need for checks in between to make sure the soldering is all right, as
rework may or may not be possible after the subsequent stages of processing – like
for example if a reflow process may not be possible for incremental component
addition. The vendor shall sequence the assembly process accordingly.
A recommended assembly process in which the components are mounted in stages is
presented in Annexure 1. The first unit must be fabricated as per this procedure and
tested. It is not mandatory to follow this process for further units but the successful
bidder may choose to follow the same. However, he may choose to adopt any
sequence suitable for him for the remaining quantity at hand. It shall be reiterated
that the vendor is responsible for any and all issues that arise during the entire
manufacturing process and it is his sole responsibility to supply completed, tested
quality hardware.
3.2 Option II
In Option II, The FIM supplied by SAC will Include all electronic components necessary for
the fabrication of the SSR; the vendors shall not procure any components. However, any
fabrication materials and consumable necessary in the manufacturing process shall be the
vendor’s responsibility in either option.
All the other details remain the same as Option I

Annexure I Recommended Fabrication/Testing Procedure
Brief Description of the Tests of Lot1 to Lot 4 mounting are given in the next page.
Page 30
Test for Lot 1 of Components After mounting of Lot 1 components (power supply section), the test involves providing 28V Raw DC power and a 5V level on/off command, followed by checking of supply voltages at 10 points. If any voltage does not meet the allowed range, the same needs to be debugged and rectified.
Test for Lot 2 of Components
After mounting of Lot 2 components (FPGA and capacitors), the test involves programming the FPGA with the provided bit file and then probing test points on the PCB to observe waveform patterns on DSO and compare with expected waveforms. Test for Lot 3 of Components
After mounting of Lot 3 components (Memory modules), the test involves programming the FPGA with the bit file provided for testing the Lot 3 components and verifying the Id of the memory modules through SAC supplied Test Utility Software. Test for Lot 4 of Components
After mounting of Lot 4 components (Serdes and Level translators), the test involves programming the FPGA with the bit file provided for testing the Lot 4 components and testing the completely mounted board through Test Utility Software.
The details of Lot 1 to Lot 4 components and all test details and specifications will be provided at the time of award of the contract to the successful bidder.
