AJEET SBC with Xilinx V5 FPGA

The AJEET board combines the processing functions and the I/O necessary for a complete spacecraft C&DH system on a single 3U board. The AJEET uses the rad-hard BRE440 system-on-a-chip (SoC) and the rad-hard Virtex-5QV FPGA. The board includes the following resources:

  • Radiation-Hardened Xilinx Virtex-5QV FPGA
  • 512Mbytes Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM System Memory (EDAC)
  • 128Kbytes Boot EEPROM (TMR)
  • Up to 8Gbyte FLASH Memory (TMR) with independent switched power
  • 256Mbytes Digital Signal Processing (DSP) SDRAM (EDAC/Reed-Solomon capable)
  • PCI V2.2, 32/64-bit, 33/66 MHz, configurable for cPCI system slot or peripheral slot operation; Initiator and target operation
  • Mass: 460g, Power: 11.7W, TID: 50KRad
  • Qty 24 RS422 or LVDS inputs
  • Qty 24 RS422 or LVDS outputs
  • Qty 2 RS485 transceivers
  • Qty 1 LVDS DeSerializers (3:21)
  • Qty 16 Bi-Level inputs (TTL/CMOS), 5V or 3.3V
  • Qty 80 Analogs (+/-10V) / AD590 Temps (16 can be PRTs) with 14 AD590 voltage excitations
  • Qty 12 Sun Sensors with 3 Sun Sensor Current Excitations
  • Support for 10/100 Mbps RMII Ethernet (Requires 3 LVDS TX, 4 LVDS RX)
  • Support for SpaceWire Interfaces (Requires 2 LVDS TX, 2 LVDS RX per interface)
