Satellite communication systems where bandwidth and power are at a premium are challenged to deliver higher bandwidth and more flexible connectivity in LEO constellations and beyond where radiation is a constant threat to electronics. Lattice FPGAs with inherent radiation resilience and embedded hardened error correction implement complex communication algorithms such as software defined radios and connectivity solutions with digital flexible payloads while withstanding radiation.
- Immunity to single event latch up and high Total Ionizing Dose resilience in presence of heavy ions
- Novel configuration memory architecture significantly lowers multiple-bit upsets.
- Mitigation techniques including built-in error detection and correction , sophisticated Triple Modular Redundancy and fault tolerant design techniques
- Low power and compact packages enable novel distributed architectures deployed in small satellites
Features
- Up to 1800 high performance DSP blocks and 1000 embedded memory blocks coupled with HDL programming flow accelerate development of novel signal processing algorithms.
- Lowest soft error rate (SER) in its class and highest latch-up immunity coupled with built-in scrubber to maximize integrity of space systems.
- Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) plastic components speed up prototype build and maintain same design for flight.
- Complete satellite reference designs with ecosystem partners analog front end, thermal solutions and power delivery networks accelerate time to launch.
