Description
The paper will describe the development and status of radiation- hardened SPARC processors. The SPARC architecture was adopted by the European Space Agency (ESA) in 1992, and has since then been the baseline for most Eropean space missions. SPARC-based processor such as ERC32 are used to control many satellites, including the International Space Station. Newer devices based on the LEON acrhitecture are being developed, and are available on both radiation-hardened ASIC and FPGA technologies. A summary of availble LEON devices and software development tools will be provided in the paper.
