Oral

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...

102. Field-programmable technology: today's and tomorrow's
