RTAX-DSP/S/SL Radiation-Tolerant FPGAs

These radiation-tolerant FPGAs offer industry-leading advantages for designers of space flight systems. With low-power consumption, true single-chip form factor and live-at-power-up operation, RTAX FPGAs are the choice for space designers. From concept to final integration and flight, we provide the tools and support to help you successfully integrate your space flight application into RTAX radiation-tolerant FPGAs. For space applications that require a lower standby current, we offer RTAX FPGAs, a low-power-grade option that has half the standby current of our standard FPGAs at worst-case conditions.

RTAX-DSP FPGAs offer up to 166 user I/Os and RTAX-S/SL FPGAs offer up to 840 user I/Os for space-based applications. The RTAX FPGA product family features SEU-hardened flip-flops implemented without any user intervention and includes embedded SRAM with error correction encoding.

Embedded radiation-tolerant DSP math blocks feature 18 bit × 18 bit multiply-accumulate blocks that enable efficient implementation of DSP building blocks such as Finite Impulse Response (FIR) and Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) digital filters, Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs) and Inverse Fourier Transforms (IFTs), Discrete Cosine Transforms (DCTs) and Reed-Solomon encoding algorithms. The RTAX-DSP FPGA family features up to 120 math blocks, each capable of operating at 125 MHz over the full military temperature range (-55 °C to 125 °C) for a total throughput of 15 billion multiply/accumulates per second (15 GMACS) without any user intervention.
