Xilinx at Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference
Xilinx, Inc. (Nasdaq: XLNX) will showcase its space enabling solutions at the IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference (NSREC). The vent will take place July 14-18, 2008 in Tucson, Arizona. NSREC is an annual meeting of engineers and scientists presents the latest techniques for enhancing the performance of microelectronic devices and circuits that are used in radiation environments.
Xilinx will demonstrate and present the following at NSREC:
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 FPGAs and is capable of injecting simulated upsets at a rate of over 3 million per minute while verifying design functionality.
