# Project Description
|
|
|
|
|
|
The goal of the CernFIP project is to provide a radiation tolerant
|
|
|
FPGA-based replacement for the MicroFIP chip, a WorldFIP agent.
|
|
|
FPGA-based replacement for Alstom's WorldFIP agent, the MicroFIP chip.

\- \> nanoFIP is an **Actel FPGA** component implementing the
|
|
|
[WorldFIP](WorldFIP) protocol that can be used in field devices.
|
|
|
The https://www.ohwr.org/609 is a rad-tol
|
|
|
FPGA that acts as an agent in the communication over the WorldFIP
|
|
|
fieldbus. https://www.ohwr.org/607
|
|
|
|
|
|
\- \> It is designed to be **radiation tolerant** by using different
|
|
|
single event upset mitigation techniques such as
|
|
|
Triple Module Redundancy and fail-safe state machines.
|
|
|
\-\> It implements a minimal **subset of the WorldFIP services**.
