Abstract
A system is provided for interfacing a Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) system with engine sensors and actuators using miniaturized Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) substrates operating as smart notes that communicate digitally over a data bus to a miniaturized LTCC operating as a data concentrator. The use of smart nodes and/or data concentrators assembled on LTCC substrates provides enhanced thermal and vibration performance along with resistance to hydration, improved reliability and reduced overall size of the circuitry unit.
