Summary	In this research, a general purpose digitally programmable VLSI network for space-based system is proposed. The design is based on a technique that was developed earlier by the proposer, and has shown excellent radiation sensitivity performance. The mixed mode signal circuit, using BiCMOS Techniques is currently under development. Previously fabricated VLSI ASIC chips will also be irradiated using the NPS LINAC, or other facilities, for testing its performances under radiation environment. Past experimental results using this technique has shown great improvements in the circuit's radiation performance. Investigation of incorporating these designs using SOI fabrication techniques will be also considered.
