The nanoFIP is an Actel FPGA component implementing the
|
|
|
|
[WorldFIP](WorldFIP) protocol that can be used in field devices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The component is developed as part of the [WorldFIP insourcing
|
|
|
|
project](https://www.ohwr.org/project/cern-fip) and is designed to be
|
|
|
|
radiation tolerant
|
|
|
|
by using different single event upset mitigation techniques such as
|
|
|
|
triple module redundancy. To improve the radiation tolerance,
|
|
|
|
the nanoFIP implements a minimal subset of the WorldFIP services.
|
|
|
|
WorldFIP variables are transferred either directly on 16-bit I/O ports
|
|
|
|
or via a triplicated memory included in the nanoFIP component.
|
|
|
|
The device is used in conjunction with a [FielDrive](FielDrive) driver
|
|
|
|
chip and [FieldTR](FieldTR) insulating transformer, both available from
|
|
|
|
the company ALSTOM.
