RT4G150L-CGG1657PROTO

The RT4G150L-CGG1657PROTO is a Microchip RTG4™ flash-based FPGA combining fourth-generation hardened fabric with high-performance interfaces on a single surface-mount device. Designed and specified for military-grade and radiation-challenging environments, the device targets space, high-altitude aviation, medical electronics, and nuclear control applications where configuration robustness and deterministic logic resources are required.

This device provides a large logic capacity with extensive I/O and integrated high-speed serial and memory interfaces while operating across a wide temperature and supply range to meet demanding embedded system requirements.

Key Features

• Core architecture Flash-based RTG4 FPGA fabric with 4-input LUTs (LUT4) and fast carry chains; logic fabric supports designs with up to 151,824 logic elements.
• Logic capacity 151,824 logic elements for implementing complex state machines, datapaths, and control logic.
• Embedded memory & DSP Total on-chip RAM: 5,325 bits (approximately 0.0053 Mbits). Embedded multiply-accumulate blocks support DSP operations up to 300 MHz as documented for the RTG4 family.
• High-speed serial and memory interfaces Native SerDes support up to 3.125 Gbps and integrated DDR2/DDR3/LPDDR memory controller capabilities as described for the RTG4 family.
• Radiation-tolerant configuration Fabric and registers are hardened by design against radiation-induced single-event upsets (SEUs), retaining configuration integrity in radiation-prone environments.
• I/O and package 720 I/O pins in a 1657-BFCCGA package (supplier device package 1657-CCGA, 42.5 × 42.5 mm) in a surface-mount form factor suitable for compact board designs.
• Power and thermal Recommended supply range 1.14 V to 1.26 V with an operating temperature range of –55 °C to 125 °C, supporting deployment in extreme thermal environments.
• System and configuration resources On-chip oscillator, clock conditioning circuits (CCCs), JTAG and system controller SPI functionality are provided as part of the RTG4 device feature set.
• Environmental compliance RoHS compliant to meet current material directives.

Typical Applications

• Space systems Radiation-resistant configuration and hardened registers make this FPGA suitable for Low-, Medium-, and Geostationary-Earth-Orbit payloads and other spaceflight electronics.
• High-altitude aviation Extended temperature range and robust configuration retention suit avionics and high-altitude sensor/communication systems.
• Medical electronics Deterministic logic and DSP-capable blocks support real-time signal processing and control functions in medical instrumentation operating in demanding environments.
• Nuclear power and industrial control Radiation-tolerant configuration and military-grade specification support control, monitoring, and safety-related implementations in radiation-exposed installations.

Unique Advantages

• Hardened configuration for radiation environments: Registers and configuration memory are designed to resist radiation-induced upsets, reducing the need for external mitigation mechanisms.
• High logic density: 151,824 logic elements allow consolidation of complex functions into a single FPGA, lowering system BOM and interconnect complexity.
• Integrated high-speed interfaces: Native SerDes (3.125 Gbps) and DDR memory controller support enable high-throughput communication and memory subsystems without additional bridge devices.
• Extended operating range: Support for –55 °C to 125 °C and a defined 1.14 V–1.26 V supply window facilitates reliable operation in extreme environments.
• Robust I/O and package options: 720 I/O in a 1657-ball CCGA package (42.5 × 42.5 mm) provides high pin-count connectivity in a standard surface-mount footprint.
• Comprehensive on-chip system resources: Built-in oscillator, clock conditioning circuits, JTAG and SPI-based system controller features simplify system integration and bring-up.
