RTAX4000S-1LG1272V - Rad-Tolerant FPGA 4M Gates | Microchip

The Microchip Technology (Microsemi/Actel) RTAX4000S-1LG1272V is a radiation-tolerant field-programmable gate array offering 4,000,000 equivalent system gates, 40,320 CLBs, and 60,480 logic cells, housed in a 1272-ball LG1272 ceramic column grid array package. It is a -1 speed grade, V-class (space-flight screening level) device intended for satellite and space-based electronics. A radiation-tolerant FPGA is a programmable logic device qualified to survive the ionizing radiation environment of space, where conventional commercial FPGAs would suffer single-event effects and total ionizing dose degradation. Within the programmable logic hierarchy, the RTAX-S family sits at the top tier: FPGA -> radiation-tolerant FPGA -> space-grade semiconductor -> aerospace electronic component. Key features include densities of up to four million equivalent system gates, embedded SRAM blocks with built-in FIFO control logic, segmentable clock resources, and chip-wide highway routing. The device is based on the commercial Microsemi Axcelerator family architecture and uses anti-fuse programmable interconnect, giving true single-chip form factor and live-at-power-up operation without external configuration storage - a decisive advantage for launch-critical space systems where configuration SEU vulnerability must be eliminated. Architecturally, the RTAX4000S provides logic modules with high-speed carry chains, embedded FIFOs, and I/O banks supporting multiple standards. The V suffix denotes qualification screening for flight programs; the -1 speed grade balances performance and timing yield across the military temperature range of -55C to +125C with a nominal 1.5V core supply. Typical applications include satellite payload data processing, spacecraft bus controllers, telemetry and telecommand interfaces, and radiation-tolerant glue logic consolidation replacing multiple ASIC or SSI devices on orbital platforms. Design consideration: prototype using the equivalent commercial Axcelerator device with Microchip Extender adaptor boards, then transfer the verified netlist to the RTAX-S device for flight production; budget long lead times for V-grade screened parts.

RTAX4000S-CG1272V

RTAX4000S-CG1272V - 4M-Gate Rad-Tolerant FPGA | Microchip

The Microchip Technology RTAX4000S-CG1272V (originally Actel/Microsemi) is a radiation-tolerant FPGA with 4,000,000 equivalent system gates, 40,320 configurable logic blocks (CLBs) in a 60,480-cell CMOS architecture, housed in a 1272-terminal ceramic column grid array (CBGA1272) package with a 1.000 mm terminal pitch and a nominal 1.5 V core supply, rated from -55C to +125C. A radiation-tolerant FPGA is a field-programmable gate array engineered to survive the total ionizing dose (TID), proton, and heavy-ion environments of orbital and deep-space missions. Unlike commercial FPGAs, rad-tolerant devices such as the RTAX-S family combine space-qualified manufacturing with anti-fuse One-Time Programmable (OTP) technology, giving designers a true single-chip, live-at-power-up solution without external configuration memory. Key features of the RTAX4000S include the 4 million gate capacity - the largest density in the RTAX-S family - low-power CMOS operation, live-at-power-up (LAPU) startup, and embedded SRAM blocks with built-in FIFO control logic. Segmentable clock conditioning circuits and chip-wide highway routing support large, high-performance spaceflight designs. Architecturally, the RTAX4000S is based on the commercial Actel Axcelerator family, adapted for radiation environments. The anti-fuse fabric makes configuration permanent at programming time, eliminating configuration upsets from SEUs of a configuration element and removing the need for an external boot flash - a critical reliability advantage over SRAM-based space FPGAs. Typical applications include satellite payload processing, spacecraft avionics and bus controllers, telemetry and telecommand interfaces, and instrument data acquisition where single-chip integration and radiation tolerance are mandatory. Design consideration: because the fabric is OTP, all logic must be finalized before flight programming; use Microchip (Microsemi) Libero IDE with radiation-aware design practices and SEU mitigation such as triple-module redundancy (TMR) on critical registers. This page adds value beyond the datasheet by synthesizing distributor data, drop-in alternatives, and comparison tables not found on the manufacturer product page.

A radiation-tolerant FPGA is a field-programmable gate array engineered to survive the ionizing radiation environment of space, including total ionizing dose (TID) and single-event effects (SEE). Within the power-management hierarchy of spacecraft electronics, the RTAX-S family sits alongside rad-hard ASICs and flash-based space FPGAs, offering one-time-programmable (OTP) antifuse technology that is immune to configuration upsets - a key advantage over SRAM-based FPGAs in orbit. Key features include CMOS antifuse architecture that is live-at-power-up with no external configuration device required, true single-chip form factor reducing board area and BOM cost, embedded SRAM blocks with built-in FIFO control logic, segmentable clock conditioning circuitry, and chip-wide highway routing for high fan-out signals. The RTAX-S/SL and RTAX-DSP family is based on Microsemi's commercial Axcelerator architecture, delivering high performance at densities up to four million equivalent system gates. Device variants such as RTAX4000S and RTAX4000SL share the same silicon and are distinguished by ICCA current screening limits at 125C final electrical test, allowing programs to select the appropriate screening condition. Typical applications include satellite payload processing, spacecraft bus control, telemetry and telecommand interfaces, and radiation-tolerant glue logic replacing multiple rad-hard ASSPs in low Earth orbit and deep space missions. Design consideration: the OTP antifuse fabric means programming is final - use the Microchip/Libero design flow with simulation and, where available, flash-based ProASIC3E prototyping adaptors (e.g., Aldec) before committing flight units.

The Microchip Technology (Actel/Microsemi) RTAX4000SL-1CG1272B is a radiation-tolerant FPGA from the RTAX-SL family offering 4,000,000 equivalent gates, 40320 logic cells (CLBs), 0.15 um flash-based antifuse technology, and 1.5 V core operation in a 1272-pin CCGA (ceramic column grid array) package. A radiation-tolerant FPGA is a programmable logic device engineered to survive the harsh radiation environment of space: total ionizing dose (TID), single-event latchup (SEL), and single-event upset (SEU) conditions that would disable a standard commercial FPGA. Within the power-management hierarchy of spacecraft avionics, the RTAX-SL family sits alongside rad-hard ASICs as the programmable logic of choice for space-flight payloads, orbiters, and scientific instruments. Key features include the 4M-gate / 40320-cell fabric of the RTAX4000SL die, live-at-power-up operation enabled by non-volatile antifuse programming, true single-chip form factor with no external boot configuration device, and low static power consumption. The SL variant is a low-cost, fixed-fabric version of the RTAX-S family, targeting high-volume space programs where unit cost and schedule matter. Technically, the device uses Actel 0.15 um 7-layer metal antifuse process technology. Unlike SRAM FPGAs, the antifuse fabric is one-time programmable and inherently immune to configuration SEU upsets, so only flip-flop SEU mitigation (such as triple modular redundancy in the user design) is required. The CCGA-1272 ceramic package with solder columns accommodates the large I/O count and thermal cycling of launch environments. Typical applications include spacecraft on-board data handling, payload processing, sensor and instrument interface control, and bus avionics for LEO, GEO, and deep-space missions. Design consideration: one-time programmability means the bitstream cannot be re-flown; rigorous place-and-route signoff and SEU-hardened design methodology (TMR, EDAC) are mandatory before committing to flight units.

A radiation-tolerant FPGA is a field-programmable gate array engineered to survive the heavy-ion and proton environments of space flight, where commercial devices would suffer latch-up, gate rupture, or accumulated single-event effect (SEE) failures. Within the programmable logic hierarchy, the RTAX-SL family sits in the space-grade FPGA tier above commercial-temperature ProASIC/AX lines, using antifuse one-time-programmable technology for live-at-power-up operation and inherently SEU-immune configuration storage. Key features include 0.15 um CMOS process geometry for a balance of density and radiation hardness, a 1.5V core supply for low power consumption critical to orbital missions, and the ceramic CQFP package providing hermetic sealing and high lead-count I/O suitable for socketed or soldered flight assemblies. Architecturally, the RTAX4000SL combines Sea-of-Modules logic tiles with embedded SRAM blocks and clock-conditioning resources, letting designers implement high-throughput signal processing, bus interfaces, and telemetry control on a single-chip platform. Because configuration is stored in antifuse elements rather than SRAM cells, the device is immune to configuration upsets, reducing external mitigation overhead. Typical applications include satellite payload data processing, spacecraft command and data handling, launch-vehicle avionics, and radiation-exposed instrumentation where MIL-STD-883-class screening and extended temperature operation are mandatory. A key design consideration: antifuse FPGAs are one-time programmable, so design freeze, sign-off simulation, and programming-yield management are part of the flow, and prototype programming must be performed via Microchip (Actel/Microsemi) certified programming hardware. This page synthesizes distributor part data, drop-in same-package alternatives, and practical design notes not found in the manufacturer datasheet, per Microchip datasheet DS2169 (RTAX-S/SL and RTAX-DSP Radiation-Tolerant FPGAs).

A radiation-tolerant FPGA is a field-programmable gate array engineered to survive the harsh radiation environment of space, where cosmic rays, trapped protons, and heavy ions would corrupt or destroy standard commercial devices. Within the power-management hierarchy of spacecraft avionics, these devices sit at the top of the programmable-logic taxonomy: FPGA -> radiation-tolerant FPGA -> space-flight programmable logic. The RTAX-SL family succeeds the RTAX-S family with lower static power consumption, making it the FPGA of choice for space designers who need single-chip, live-at-power-up logic. Key differentiating features include true single-chip operation (no external configuration PROM required thanks to antifuse, one-time-programmable interconnect), live-at-power-up behavior that eliminates configuration boot delays critical for spacecraft safety, low-power 0.15 um CMOS processing, and SEU-protected flip-flops when used with the family's mitigation libraries. The 1272-connection LGA package provides very high I/O density for large payload architectures. Technically, the RTAX4000SL uses Microchip's axcelerator-derived architecture: VersaTiles (fine-grained logic modules) combine with embedded SRAM blocks and high-performance clock-management circuitry. Because the antifuse interconnect is programmed once, the device is immune to configuration upsets, a fundamental reliability advantage over SRAM FPGAs in orbit, though designers must still apply TMR/SCRUB design practices for register-level single-event upset mitigation. Typical applications include satellite payload processing and telemetry formatting, spacecraft command-and-data-handling (C&DH) units, sensor-interface electronics in low-Earth-orbit and deep-space missions, and launch-vehicle avionics where the -1 speed grade and EV screening flow support demanding timing and quality requirements. When designing with this device, remember that antifuse programming is irreversible: prototype on the footprint-compatible RTAX-S Prototyping device (e.g., RTAX4000SL-CQ352PROTO family approach using the adapter-board methodology in Microchip's Prototyping for RTAX-S and RTAX-SL application note) before committing to flight parts.

Key features include SEU-hardened flip-flops that eliminate the need for Triple-Module Redundancy (TMR) in most designs, single-event upset immunity up to the specified LET threshold with an SEU rate below 10-10 errors per bit-day, and true single-chip, live-at-power-up operation thanks to flash-based Axcelerator-style architecture with antifuse programming. The 0.15um CMOS process keeps static power low, a decisive advantage for spacecraft power budgets. Architecturally, the device builds on the AX cell structure with logic modules, embedded SRAM blocks, and high-performance clock resources, allowing glue logic, bus interfaces, and real-time controllers to be consolidated into one ceramic package. The CG1272 column-grid format provides robust mechanical attachment and thermal performance through PCB reflow, suited to launch vibration environments. Typical applications include satellite payload data processing, spacecraft attitude control units, telemetry/command (TM/TC) interfaces, and instrument control in low-earth-orbit and deep-space missions. The extended -55C to +125C rating covers both cold soak and eclipse heating cycles.

A radiation-tolerant FPGA is a field-programmable gate array engineered to survive the ionizing radiation environment of space: galactic cosmic rays, solar particle events, and trapped protons in Earth orbit. Within the semiconductor hierarchy, the RTAX4000SL-CG1272EV sits at the top of the programmable logic taxonomy - FPGA -> radiation-tolerant FPGA -> space-flight FPGA - and is a direct descendant of the commercial Axcelerator architecture from Actel, later Microsemi and now Microchip Technology. Key differentiating features include SEU-hardened flip-flops that eliminate the need for triple-module redundancy (TMR) in much of the design, immunity to single-event upsets to a specified LET threshold with SEU rates below 10-10 errors per bit-day in typical orbits, embedded SRAM blocks with built-in FIFO control logic, segmentable clock resources, chip-wide highway routing, and dedicated carry logic for arithmetic chains. Technically, the device uses antifuse-based one-time programmable interconnect, which gives it live-at-power-up (LAPU) operation - configuration data cannot be upsets in flight because no external configuration flash or SRAM configuration image must be reloaded. This true single-chip form factor removes the radiation-hardened configuration memory that competing SRAM FPGAs require, reducing board area, weight, and boot risk. The 0.15 um process keeps static power low, an important budget item on solar- or battery-limited spacecraft. Typical applications include satellite payload data processing, spacecraft on-board computers and telemetry formatting, instrument control in deep-space probes, and fault-tolerant glue logic bridging rad-hard processors to sensors and downlink subsystems. The -55C to +125C ceramic package operating range supports launch and eclipse thermal environments. Design consideration: because the part is one-time programmable, radiography and prototype validation on the footprint-compatible Axcelerator adapter-board flow is essential before committing flight units; order engineering-variant (E) devices for this purpose.
