RTG4 Dev Kit Ordering Information
| Part Number | Description |
|---|---|
|
RTG4-DEV-KIT |
RTG4 Standard speed silicon in 1657-pin, Ceramic Ball Grid Array (CBGA) package |
|
RTG4-DEV-KIT-1 |
RTG4 "-1" silicon, 15 % faster than standard speed. 1657-pin Ceramic Ball Grid Array (CBGA) package |
|
RTG4-DEV-KIT-CG |
RTG4 Standard speed silicon in 1657-pin Ceramic Column Grid Array (CCGA) package |
|
RTG4-DEV-KIT-CG-1 |
RTG4 "-1" silicon, 15 % faster than standard Speed. 1657-pin Ceramic Column Grid Array (CCGA) package |
There are four versions of RTG4 development kits listed in the table above. Differences in the kit versions are determined by package type of the RTG4 PROTO FPGAs on the board, either Ceramic Ball Grid Array (CBGA) or Ceramic Column Grid Array (CCGA). The RTG4 PROTO devices in CCGA package use the same package as space flight models. The RTG4 PROTO devices in CBGA package is only intended for design prototyping and evaluation. CBGAs are not intended for environmental testing, flight testing, or space flight.
The CBGA kits are available with standard speed and -1 speed devices. The CCGA kits are also available with standard speed and -1 speed devices. Please note that Libero SoC design software for RTG4 FPGAs does not make a distinction between CBGA and CCGA packages, or between PROTO and space flight devices. User can select CCGA1657 package even when designing with CBGA1657 as a prototyping vehicle.
