Description
New methods for characterizing FPGA performance in radiation environments are presented. Application of the new methods are illustrated via walking through FPGA manufacturer Single Event Data and how they are used to calculate system-level error rates for various space environments. This presentation shows that old test and evaluation methods are insufficient while new methods provide better characterization and assistance for determining suitable design/mitigation strategies for space missions.
