Sub-QML FPGAs
Sub-QML FPGA Offering for NewSpace and High Volume Satellite Constellations
Overview
Microchip’s Sub-QML FPGAs for space applications bridge the gap between traditional Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) components and commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components which typically have little to no radiation or reliability data. For New Space missions and constellations of small satellites with very stringent cost and schedule requirements, Sub-QML FPGAs are the optimal solutions combining the radiation tolerance of QML components with our spaceflight heritage that permits lower screening requirements, resulting in lower cost and shorter lead times.
Sub-QML FPGAs are Microchip’s radiation-tolerant FPGAs with reduced screening flows available in various packaging options including ceramic and plastic for the most cost-optimized space-flight solutions. The following chart shows all available screening flows for Microchip’s RT FPGAs including traditional QML flows: V, E, B, and Sub-QML screening flows: R, Mil Ceramic, and Mil Plastic.
Sub-QML FPGA screening flow options are available for all Microchip radiation-tolerant FPGA families: RTSX-SU, RTAX-S/SL/DSP, RT ProASIC3, RTG4, RT PolarFire, with the exception of the Mil Plastic flow availability for RTG4 family only.
