• Embedded Memory — Approximately 5,325 bits of on-chip RAM for fabric storage and small data buffering needs.
• High I/O Count — 720 user I/O pins to support dense external connectivity and multi-channel interfacing.
• Radiation-Resilient Fabric — Registers and logic hardened by design against radiation-induced single-event upsets (SEUs), suitable for harsh radiation environments described in RTG4 documentation.
• Logic Element Architecture — Each logic element includes a 4-input Look-Up Table (LUT4) with fast carry chains; fabric performance characterized to 300 MHz in RTG4 documentation.
• High-Speed Serial and Memory Interfaces — Native SerDes at 3.125 Gbps and support for double data rate memory controllers (DDR2/DDR3/LPDDR) as outlined in the RTG4 family documentation.
• DSP Capabilities — Embedded multiply-accumulate blocks and memory options for digital signal processing up to 300 MHz as specified for RTG4 devices.
• Electrical and Mechanical — Nominal core supply range 1.14 V to 1.26 V; surface-mount package options including 1657-BCBGA / supplier package 1657-CBGA (42.5×42.5 mm).
• Extended Operating Range — Qualified for operation from −55°C to 125°C and provided in Military grade.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Space Systems — Radiation-hardened RTG4 fabric and hardened registers support mission electronics for LEO, MEO, GEO and deep-space platforms.
• High-Altitude and Avionics — Wide temperature range and radiation resilience make the device suitable for high-altitude flight electronics and avionics subsystems.
• Medical Electronics — Use in medical systems where high reliability, deterministic DSP and robust interfaces are required.
• Nuclear and Industrial Control — Designed for control systems operating in radiation-prone or harsh environmental conditions.
• High-Speed DSP and Memory Interfaces — Applications that use embedded multiply-accumulate blocks, high-speed SerDes and DDR memory controllers for signal processing and buffering.

Unique Advantages

• Radiation-Hardened Configuration: Fabric and registers are hardened against SEUs, reducing the need for external mitigation in radiation-prone deployments.
• High Logic Capacity: ~151,824 logic elements provide headroom for large, integration-heavy designs without external logic expansion.
• Integrated High-Speed I/O: 720 I/Os and native 3.125 Gbps SerDes enable multi-channel, high-throughput system architectures.
• Deterministic DSP Performance: On-chip MAC blocks and memory options support DSP workloads up to 300 MHz, simplifying signal processing implementations.
• Wide Temperature and Military Grade: Operation from −55°C to 125°C and military grade designation support demanding environmental requirements.
• Compact High-Pin Package: 1657-CBGA (42.5×42.5 mm) package delivers high I/O and density in a surface-mount form factor.
