Total Ionizing Dose and Single-Events characterization of Xilinx 20nm Kintex UltraScale™

A small all-range LIDAR for topographic mapping from orbit and navigation guidance during descent and touchdown

“…The FPGA used is a Xilinx XCKU060-2FFVA1156E. A radiation hardened version of the FPGA chip is available [17], though a commercial grade device is used in the prototype instrument. The FPGA generates the RZPN pulse sequence for the laser transmitter and carries out the signal correlation with the kernel in frequency domain.…”

Radiation studies performed on the High Luminosity ATLAS TileCal link Daughterboard

“…Taking into consideration the position of the DB in ATLAS, commercial off-the-shelf components have been used for the design following the availability of the required components in the market, with the exception of the CERN radiation hard GBTx ASICs [4], due to the importance of the stable clock recovery and distribution very specific to the LHC readout systems. Reported radiation tests studies performed in the ProASIC [6] and the Kintex Ultrascale FPGAs [7,8] in addition to the tests performed internally in the collaboration were taken into consideration for the selection of the aforementioned components due to their complex nature. The remaining part of the COTS were tested up the radiation requirements in parallel to the board development process.…”
