Radiation-Tolerant FPGA Design Services — Space, Defense & High-Reliability Applications

 Get expert FPGA design support for programs requiring radiation-tolerant or radiation-hardened devices — RTG4, RTAX, Virtex-5QV, and equivalent platforms.

This page is for teams developing space, defense, or high-reliability systems where standard commercial FPGAs are not acceptable. Rad-hard and rad-tolerant FPGA design is a highly specialized field with a small pool of qualified engineers.

When companies need this

• A program requires space-grade or mil-grade FPGA devices with specific radiation tolerance specs
• Design must survive total ionizing dose (TID), single event upset (SEU), or single event latchup (SEL) environments
• An RTG4 or RTAX design needs triple-modular redundancy (TMR) implementation
• A design must comply with export control regulations (ITAR/EAR) throughout development
• Existing commercial FPGA designs must be ported to radiation-tolerant equivalents
• Independent design verification is required for mission assurance

What matters in rad-hard FPGA design

• Familiarity with Microchip RTG4, RTAX, and Xilinx Virtex-5QV device characteristics
• Understanding of SEU mitigation techniques including TMR, scrubbing, and error correction
• Experience with radiation testing standards and how they affect design decisions
• ITAR compliance and secure design handling throughout the project
• Documentation and traceability standards appropriate for space or defense programs

Why teams outsource

• Rad-hard FPGA expertise is rare — few engineers have hands-on experience with space-grade devices
• TMR and SEU mitigation add significant design complexity that requires specialist knowledge
• Programs often need outside vendors with existing facility clearances and ITAR registration
• Cost and schedule risk make it impractical to build this capability in-house for a single program
