Static Upset Characteristics of the 90nm Virtex-4QV FPGAs

Radiation Test Consortium (XRTC) single-event measurements for three of the latest generation of radiation-tolerant reconfigurable FPGAs from Xilinx (90 nm, copper- interconnected, thin-epitaxial CMOS) are presented. Results include proton and heavy-ion upset susceptibilities for unclocked memory elements, high-temperature latchup immunity and a low SEFI rate (e.g., ~one/device-century in geosynchronous orbit).
