SEFUW: SpacE FPGA Users Workshop, 2nd Edition

All FPGAs share several design methodologies, yet each of them face specific challenges. The anti-fuse FPGAs are currently heavily used in most electronic equipment for space yet there are other emerging technologies too: Flash-based and SRAM-based. The aim of this workshop is to address experiences in several topics related to FPGAs for space covering (not limited too): - general design, verification and test issues and good practices - performance achievements and potential problems - power consumption achievements and potential issues - design tools performance, good practices and potential limitations - radiation mitigation techniques, tools and potential limitations (avoiding repetitions of what has already been presented at RADECS, NSREC and SEE Symposium) - trends of FPGA usage in space applications - lessons learned: ensuring successful and safe use of FPGA in space applications - choosing the best FPGA type for our space application - export license limitations / changes / ITAR / EAR - package and assembly challenges - companion non-volatile memory (when required) experience The FPGA vendors ATMEL, MICROSEMI and XILINX will present updates and will be available for questions. Presentations from at least the major design groups (Primes) are expected. Have you not been contacted yet to present and are you interested in presenting?: Please contact us and/or submit your abstract. Do you need space for demonstrating hardware and/or a booth? Please contact us. The workshop duration will be 2.5 days; finishing at lunch time on the 3rd day. Attendance to the workshop is free of charge. It is advised to register as soon as possible in order to ensure your place. Registration is required via the website not later than 12th September 2014. The materials presented at the workshop are intended to be published on this website after the event. All material presented at the workshop must, before submission, be cleared of any restrictions preventing it from being published on the website.
