Initial Single Event Effects Testing of the Xilinx Virtex-4 Field Programmable Gate Array

摘要

We present initial results for the thin epitaxial Xilinx Virtex-4 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), and compare to previous results obtained for the Virtex-II and Virtex-II Pro. The data presented was acquired through a consortium based effort with the common goal of providing the space community with data and mitigation methods for the use of Xilinx FPGAs in space.
