With the rapid growth of low-earth orbit satellites, the space industry is undergoing an unprecedented expansion to offer new capabilities and services. Lattice leverages the experience to build power efficient, small form factor and reliable FPGAs to deliver a scalable portfolio of inherently radiation tolerant FPGAs in support of the emerging field of small satellites for governments and businesses worldwide.
Lattice strives to provide the most reliable FPGAs for space and other harsh environment applications. Lattice NEXUS FPGA reliability and quality have been independently verified by multiple agencies in the United States and Europe to meet the performance, reliability and lifecycle demands of space systems by taking advantage of the following results:
- Immunity to single event latch-up, tested to high LET
- High Total Ionizing Dose Immunity
- Instant-on feature configures I/O in under 4ms with full FPGA configured in less than 30ms
- Interleaved SRAM memory architecture with no Multiple-Bit Upsets detected
In addition to characterizing radiation effects in reconfigurable FPGAs, Lattice offers mitigation techniques including built-in error detection and correction as well as Triple Modular Redundancy.
Working with a wide array of developers and subject matter experts, Lattice participates in an open radiation test consortium to facilitate industry cooperation, accelerate the development of test platforms and enable public awareness and access to test results.
