40. Feedback on Xilinx Virtex-5QV FPGA

Mr Florian Seychal (THALES ALENIA SPACE FRANCE)

15/03/2016, 12:35

A designer's approach is done on the last space-grade FPGA provided by Xilinx: Virtex-5QV. The presentation gives details of features, performances and power consumptions of real designs developed in Thales Alenia Space. The methodology used for Xilinx FPGAs is also presented. Finally, some recommendations are delivered for designers.

53. Experience gained in Flash-based FPGA for InSight

Mr Stephane Humbert (Syderal SA)

16/03/2016, 14:00

This presentation will address the advantages and disadvantages of flash-based FPGAs versus antifuse FPGAs, in particular regarding radiation resistance. Using reprogrammable FPGAs provides the ability to perform design update late in the equipment development process, but it also brings several constraints that do not have to be taken into account when using the well-known Microsemi RTAX-S...

61. Spartan 6 Evaluation for Space Application

Tim Pike (Airbus DS)

16/03/2016, 14:25

The Spartan 6 from Xilinx is an SRAM based military grade FPGA product offering attractive performance for a low power consumption. This presentation covers an investigation by Airbus DS to evaluate this part for space application. Initial radiation results have shown that the Spartan 6 is latch-up free. These results are presented and complementary tests to complete the radiation analysis...

62. High Performance COTS based Computer with FPGA's implementation

Mr Olivier NOTEBAERT (Airbus Defence and Space)

16/03/2016, 14:50

Architectural solutions for improving robustness of space computers w.r.t. radiations effects enables the development of high performance computers based on commercial grade digital processing devices such as microprocessors or FPGA's. This can bring a new range of space data processing performance at a reasonable cost. Indeed, several range of space applications require increasing bandwidth...
