Content	Overview of iRoC Technologies’ Report Radiation Results of the SER Test of Actel, Xilinx and Altera FPGA Instances 1 Overview of iRoC Technologies’ Report Radiation Results of the SER Test of Actel, Xilinx and Altera FPGA Instances Introduction Particles contained in cosmic galactic rays enter the earth s atmosphere and collide with atoms of atmospheric gases. These collisions produce a wide variety of sub-atomic particles, many of which recombine quickly. However, a significant quantity of high-energy neutrons are also produced by these collisions. Neutrons possess no electrical charge, and do not recombine; instead, they are slowly attenuated by the atmosphere. While the greatest quantities of neutrons (called the neutron flux density) occur at an altitude of 60,000 feet, a significant number of neutrons penetrate the atmosphere and reach the earth s surface. These high-energy neutrons can cause flip-flops and memory cells in modern semiconductor electronics to change state. Given this discovery, the effects of neutrons on programmable logic devices, which use memory cells to determine their functionality, is a major concern. Additionally, plastic package molding compounds contain tiny quantities of radioactive isotopes which emit alpha particles. Many of these alpha particles are sufficiently energetic to cause upsets in data flip-flops and memory cells, including the configuration SRAM memory in programmable logic. In response to this concern, iRoC Technologies has conducted a series of tests to determine the failure rates of five different architectures of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), using three different programming technologies from three different vendors. Testing FPGAs for Susceptibility to Neutrons – Experiments and Results Testing in the natural environment on the earth s surface is a slow process due to the low neutron flux relative to higher altitudes. To perform testing in an expeditious and repeatable manner requires accelerated testing. Fortunately the neutron test facility at the Los Alamos Neutron Sciences Center (LANSCE) at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, has a neutron source with an energy spectrum that closely matches the energy spectrum observed in atmospheric neutrons but at a much higher flux level. This allows for accelerated testing while maintaining close correlation with real-world conditions. A significant investigation into neutron effects on the configuration of FPGAs was conducted in February 2004 by iRoC Technologies. The test methodology and results are documented in the iRoC report titled, Radiation Results of SER Test of Actel, Xilinx, and Altera FPGA Instances. Testing was performed on a selection of three SRAM-based FPGA architectures from Xilinx and Altera, as well as antifuse- and flash- based FPGAs from Actel. Tests were performed in compliance with JEDEC specification JESD-89, which is recognized as the industry standard specification for the measurement of neutron effects. Each device was exposed to a cumulative neutron fluence of at least 9.3x108 n/cm2, which is equivalent to exposure to natural background neutron radiation at sea level for 7,600 years. The test team developed a design that was used to detect anomalous behavior indicative of changes in FPGA functionality. These changes are called logic errors or single event functional interrupts (SEFIs). Because these changes remain until detected and cleared, they are referred to as firm errors. Throughout the test, configuration files were read back from the FPGAs periodically to detect configuration upsets, although it was not possible to read back
