BAE Systems, a company that provides one of the world's most advanced, technology-led defense, aerospace, and security solutions has introduced a new radiation-hardened field programmable gate array for space applications.
The RH1020B radiation-hardened field programmable gate array is a fully guaranteed device targeted for use in military and space applications. It is fabricated using BAE Systems’ rad-hard 0.8µ epitaxial bulk complementary metal-oxide semiconductor process. The process architecture offers gate array flexibility, high performance, and fast design implementation through user programming.
BAE Systems has achieved full DoD Qualified Manufacturer List (QML) certification, assuring that quality management, procedures, processes, and controls are in place from wafer fabrication through the final test. The RH1280B also belongs to this family of radiation-hardened FPGAs. Customers can also modify FPGA chip designs up to the day before delivery.
The FPGA comes in an 84-lead ceramic quad flatpack and consists of up to two high-speed, low-skew clock networks. It uses a design library with more than 500 macro functions and has a unique in-system diagnostic and verification function.

BAE Systems’ RH1020B with Actel Designer Software
Brings together silicon, synthesis, and simulation to create a complete and integrated design environment for designing BAE Systems’ FPGAs.
- Integrated development environment including simulation, synthesis, and place-and-route tools for designs of fewer than 50k gates
- Increased design simulation limit to 400k gates with unlimited synthesis, allowing designers to move up as their skills and density requirements increase
- Includes simulation up to 400k gates and place-and-route tools. Ideal for ASIC designers who are starting to use FPGAs in their designs, but have already invested in synthesis tools
