RAD750 Radiation Hardened PowerPC Microprocessor

The development of a high performance radiation hardened PowerPC microprocessor is nearing completion. The features of the RAD750 are described, as well as the process of radiation hardening the processor. The RAD750 product family includes a PCI support chip and a CompactPCI 3U board, both of which are described.

Expecting the Unexpected - Radiation Hardened Software

Radiation induced Single Event Effects (SEEs) are a serious problem for spacecraft flight software, potentially leading to a complete loss of mission. Conventional risk mitigation has been focused on hardware, leading to slow, expensive and outdated on-board computing devices, increased power consumption and launch mass. Our approach is to look at SEEs from a software perspective, and to explic...

A novel radiation hardened by design latch ∗

Due to aggressive technology scaling, radiation-induced soft errors have become a serious reliability concern in VLSI chip design. This paper presents a novel radiation hardened by design latch with high single-eventupset (SEU) immunity. The proposed latch can effectively mitigate SEU by internal dual interlocked scheme. The propagation delay, power dissipation and power delay product of the pr...

Design Techniques for Radiation-Hardened FPGAs

With the RH1280 and RH1020, Actel Corporation introduces radiation-hardened versions of the popular A1280 and A1020 field programmable gate array (FPGA) familes with equivalent gate densities of 8,000 and 2,000 gate array gates, respectively. These products are processed to the QML process flow as defined in MIL-PRF-38535. They are manufactured with a 0.8 micron, two-level metal epitaxial bulk ...
