Description

Actel RTSX72SU RadTolerant FPGA designed for enhanced radiation performance Simple Type: System RTSX-SU RadTolerant FPGAs specifically designed for enhanced radiation performance are enhanced versions of Actel's commercial SX-A family of devices. Featuring SEU-hardened D-type flip-flops that offer the benefits of Triple Module Redundancy (TMR) without the associated overhead, the RTSX-SU family is a unique product offering for space applications. Manufactured using 0.25 µm technology at the United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) facility in Taiwan, RTSX-SU offers levels of radiation survivability far in excess of typical CMOS devices. Actel's RTSX-SU architecture, derived from the highly successful SX-A sea-of-modules architecture, has been designed to improve upset and total-dose performance in radiation environments with several enhancements, such as SEU-hardened flip-flops, wider clock lines, and stronger clock drivers. Designed in a sea-of-modules architecture, the entire floor of the FPGA is covered with a grid of logic modules with virtually no chip area lost to interconnect elements or routing.
