High-density, Rad-hard FPGA Designed for Space Applications

Xilinx Inc.’s high-density, rad-hard Virtex-5QV FPGAs withstand radiation environments encountered by applications ranging from low earth-orbiting satellites to systems supporting inter-planetary missions. The FPGAs provide exceptional protection against Single-Event-Upset (SEU), Total Immunity to Single-Event Latchup (SEL), high tolerance to Total Ionizing Dose (TID), as well as data path protection from Single-Event Transients (SET). The Virtex-5QV device offers 130,000 logic cells, 320 DSP Slices supporting fixed and floating point operations, and 836 user I/Os programmable to more than 30 different standards for applications and ease of interfacing to a wide variety of system components.

The Virtex-5QV family also provides the industry's first integrated high-speed connectivity solution for space with 18 channels of 3Gbps Multi-gigabit Serial Transceivers for chip-to-chip, board-to-board and box-to-box communication.
