58. Heavy-Ion Micro Beam Study of Flash-Based FPGA Microcontroller Implementation

Mr Adrian Evans (IROC Technologies)

17/03/2016, 11:45

Flash-based FPGAs such as the ProASCI3L family are frequently used in space applications because the flash storage is highly resistant to single-event effects (SEEs). In this presentation we show the results of a study of an ARM® Cortex-M0+® processor core running a benchmark application (Dhrystone) and tested under a heavy-ion micro-beam. Over a million individual ions were fired both at a...

42. Single Event Effect Test on 28nm FPGA

Dr Pierre Garcia (TRAD)

The focus of our study is to evaluate the impact of single event effect on Kintex-7 SRAM based FPGA. The 28nm Kintex-7 family is optimized for best price-performance with 2X improvement compared to previous generation. One of the few major disadvantages of SRAM-based FPGAs is their sensitivity to ionizing radiation. A change in configuration memory due to radiation can modify the implemented...

73. An overview of FPGA use in the LHC accelerator and the CERN experiments

Mr Salvatore Danzeca (CERN)

17/03/2016, 14:50

The particle accelerators and high energy physics (HEP) experiments require advanced instruments using the latest technology. The complex and new applications require custom instrumentation and need constant research and development of new electronics. To address the need of customization and high processing capability the Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) are a very popular choice in...
