Aldec and Microchip have joined together, offering a new, innovative, reprogrammable prototyping solution for Microchip RTAX-S/SL, RTSX-SU, and RTAX-D space-flight system designs. Unlike the traditional OTP (One Time Programmable) anti-fuse space-qualified FPGAs, the Aldec prototype adaptor uses flash-based, Microchip ProASIC®3E FPGA technology, for design prototype re-programmability. Top Features Supported Microchip devices/capacities: RTAX-S/SL up to 4000S, RTSX-SU, and RTAX-D devices Automated Device Netlist Converter: Memory Conversion Physical Design Constraint (PDC) file conversion Compatible with Linux and Windows OS Simulation capability with Riviera-PRO Microchip ProASIC®3E FPGA Technology Using ProASIC3E FPGA flash-based programming technology instead of traditional OTP anti-fuse space-qualified FPGAs (AX chips) provides significant advantages, such as a smaller device size with greater routing flexibility, more switches, lower power consumption, non-volatile re-programmability with easier technology mapping and Netlist optimizations. The Microchip ProASIC3E FPGA family supports devices from 15,000 to 3 million ASIC gates and includes 504Kbits of true dual-port SRAM, 620 user I/Os, 1KB of flash-ROM and provides secure IP 128-bit AES encryption/decryption. Aldec Re-Programmable Prototyping Adaptors The Aldec prototyping adaptor board maps the footprint of the Microchip ProASIC3E FPGA device to the footprint of the Microchip RTAX-S/SL or RTSX-SU device (e.g. CQ208, CQ256, CQ352, CG624, CG1152 or CG1272). After soldering the adaptor to the PCB, a programming connector (JTAG) provides on-the-fly reprogramming of the device, without detaching the adaptor from the target PCB. In addition, a GUI-based EDIF Netlist Converter Application, is available for automatic pin re-mapping from anti-fuse to flash-based architecture. Aldec prototyping adaptors are available today, in a wide-variety of supported device capacities and packages.

A pin re-mapping utility provides automatic Physical Design Constraint (PDC) file conversion, which eliminates the need for additional, time consuming manual work.
