CASE STUDY:
DornerWorks Space Switch IP on Microchip rad-hard RTG4 FPGAs

An aerospace company decided on a radiation-hardened ARM platform for its network switch, which would improve the quality of life for people in space. DornerWorks FPGA team guided the company to:

  • Microchip’s RTG4 radiation tolerant FPGAs rather than a strict software approach
  • Custom IP for the FPGA, meeting the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol standard for networking
  • Multiple Microchip FPGAs with a RISC-V softcore processor, using a modified version of DornerWorks own MAC core

Being compatible with the end-users’ commercial devices, the product spans markets and cements the company’s hold on the aerospace market. Moreover, flexible data rights for the finished product give the company full ownership of its own innovation.
