A new high density, high performance radiation
hardened, reconfigurable Field Programmable Gate Array
(FPGA) is being developed by Achronix Semiconductor
and BAE Systems for use in space and other radiation
hardened applications.12 The reconfigurable FPGA fabric
architecture utilizes Achronix Semiconductor novel
picoPIPE technology and it is being manufactured at BAE
Systems using their strategically radiation hardened 150 nm
epitaxial bulk CMOS technology, called RH15. Circuits
built in RH15 consistently demonstrate megarad total dose
hardness and the picoPIPE asynchronous technology has
been adapted for use in space with a Redundancy Voting
Circuit (RVC) methodology to protect the user circuits from
single event effects.
