XQR5VFX130-1CN1752V

The XQR5VFX130-1CN1752V is a radiation-hardened field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from Xilinx’s Virtex-5QV family, designed for space-grade and high-reliability processing in the most demanding orbital and deep-space environments. This device is fabricated on an epitaxial CMOS process with inherent total ionizing dose (TID) tolerance and single-event latch-up (SEL) immunity, delivering up to 130,000 logic cells in a ceramic column grid array (CCGA/FCBGA1752) that ensures thermal and mechanical integrity through extreme vibration and thermal cycling. The architecture includes PowerPC 440 embedded processor blocks, dedicated DSP48E slices for high-throughput fixed-point signal processing, and multi-gigabit serial transceivers supporting protocols such as SpaceWire and Aurora, enabling on-board reconfigurable computing, image processing pipelines, and software-defined radio functions in a single chip.

Typical deployment scenarios involve payload controllers, command and data handling modules, and high-speed telemetry interfaces for geostationary communications satellites, interplanetary probes, and launch vehicle avionics where deterministic performance across a wide temperature range (typically –55°C to +125°C) is mandatory. Procurement for the /V suffix indicates fully qualified, Class-V rated flight silicon compliant with MIL-PRF-38535 QML Class V requirements, and export classification under ITAR/EAR must be assessed by the end user. Long lead times, configuration memory antifuse alternatives, and strict thermal profiling for assembly are standard considerations; engineers should plan lifecycle sustainment and obsolescence mitigation early, as this niche radiation-hardened product line follows a controlled qualification and traceability path rather than standard commercial semiconductor supply chains.
