Description
The goal of the CernFIP project is to provide a radiation tolerant
FPGA-based replacement for Alstom's WorldFIP agent, the MicroFIP chip.
This replacement is called nanoFIP.
The https://www.ohwr.org/610 is a rad-tol FPGA that acts as an agent in the communication over the WorldFIP fieldbus. https://www.ohwr.org/607
-> It implements a minimal subset of the WorldFIP services.
- > It is designed to be radiation tolerant by using different SEU mitigation techniques such as TMR and fail-safe state machines.
- > It is used in conjunction with a FielDrive driver chip and FieldTR insulating transformer, both available from the company ALSTOM.
