Xilinx at the 2008 IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference

Posted on: Thursday, 10 July 2008, 09:01 CDT

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc. today announced that its industry-leading programmable logic solutions for enabling space applications, will be showcased at the 2008 IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference (NSREC), July 14-18, 2008 in Tucson, Arizona. Xilinx in-booth demonstration and technology presentations are available for show registered attendees throughout the conference.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020822/XLNXLOGO) Booth Demonstration -- Fault-Injection Upset Simulator -- Demonstration of a beam upset simulator based on fault injection and uses the same hardware as in-beam testing. The system, developed by the Radiation Test Consortium (XRTC), leverages the reconfigurability of Xilinx(R) FPGAs and is capable of injecting simulated upsets at a rate of over 3 million per minute while verifying design functionality. Technical Papers Highlighting Xilinx Technology Tuesday, July 15 -- An Automated Approach to Estimating Hardness Assurance Issues in Triple-Modular Redundancy Circuits in Xilinx FPGAs Heather Quinn, Paul Graham, Los Alamos National Laboratory Session C-2, 3:40 p.m. Thursday, July 17 Data Workshop -- Xilinx(R) Virtex(R)-5 Field Programmable Gate Array Dose Rate Upset Investigations Alonzo Vera, Daniel Llamocca, University of New Mexico; Joe Fabula, Xilinx; William Kemp, SES Consultants; Walter Shedd, David Alexander, Air Force Research Lab Session W-16, 2:30 - 4:30 p.m. -- Static Upset Characteristics of the 90 nm Virtex-4QV FPGAs Gary M. Swift, Carl Carmichael, Chen Wei Tseng, Greg Miller, Xilinx, Inc.; Gregory R. Allen, JPL; Jeffrey S. George, The Aerospace Corporation Session W-18, 2:30 - 4:30 p.m. -- Neutron Soft Errors in Xilinx FPGAs at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Jeffrey George, Rocky Koga, The Aerospace Corporation; Margaret A. McMahan, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Session W-21, 2:30 - 4:30 p.m. Poster Paper -- Upset-Induced Failure Signatures, Recovery Methods, and Mitigation Techniques in a High-Speed Serial Data Link for Space Applications Keith Morgan, Michael Caffrey, Mark Dunham, Paul Graham, Heather Quinn, LANL; Carl Carmichael, Tony Duong, Austin Lesea, Greg Miller, Gary Swift, Chen Wei Tseng, Yiding Wu, Xilinx; Roberto Monreal, SEAKR; Greg Allen, JPL Session PF-9 About NSREC
