Reconfiguring FPGAs with VORAGO Rad-Hard MCUs
In the rapidly evolving landscape of semiconductor technology, VORAGO Technologies stands as leader in innovation and reliability. Our rad-hard microcontrollers (MCUs) offer a highly reliable solution to reconfigure space-grade Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) in orbit.
Benefits of using VORAGO MCUs for reconfiguration of FPGAs include:
Industry-leading radiation performance: VORAGO MCUs are available with up to 300 krad(Si) TID.
Faster time-to-mission: Compressed bitstreams enable reconfiguration times in the range of one second, faster than typical published results.
Serial programming: Fast and straightforward implementation —> preferable over JTAG for high-speed data transfer and rapid configuration tasks.
Increased reliability: Ability to reconfigure FPGA with a known-good bitstream, should a bitstream become corrupted.
Added flexibility: Ability to reconfigure FPGA after system is deployed. New features and bug fixes can be added later.
