Abstract:
This insertion guideline has been developed to address the issues of implementing Field
Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) into earth-orbiting and deep-space missions. FPGAs
provide the design engineer an enormously powerful tool for all areas of spacecraft design,
including command and data handling, avionics, and instrumentation. Modern FPGAs also
present unique qualification and verification challenges to the Mission Assurance community.
This insertion guideline is meant to address the Mission Assurance needs.
The insertion guideline has three main sections:
1. Technology and Qualification
2. Design Flow
3. Device Specific Characterization
