Description

In this presentation we will review the features of Microchip’s RTG4 radiation tolerant FPGAs, and provide an update on radiation effects and qualification status. We will also review component screening options for high-volume, low-cost satellite constellations, where non-traditional trade-offs between cost and screening are available. Lastly, we will look forward to the next generation of radiation tolerant FPGAs, with special focus on how the features, performance, radiation characteristics and low power consumption can save system cost in space applications.
