Typical Applications

RTAX2000SL-1CQ352PROTO is suitable for 6 applications: Satellite Payload Data Processing, Spacecraft Command and Telemetry Handling, Design Prototyping and Verification, Instrument Control in Deep-Space Probes, Radiation-Tolerant Glue Logic and Bus Bridging, Space-Qualifiable Embedded Signal Processing.

✈️

Satellite Payload Data Processing

The RTAX2000SL-1CQ352PROTO's 2,000,000 equivalent gates, 32,256 logic cells, and embedded SRAM blocks with built-in FIFO control make it well matched to on-board payload data formatting, buffering, and compression pipelines in LEO and GEO satellites. Its antifuse, live-at-power-up fabric means payload logic is operational immediately after power-on without configuration delay, an important property for payloads that must begin acquiring or downlinking data promptly after eclipse exit. Data paths are implemented in the SL fabric with pipelining to meet throughput targets, while SEU-sensitive control registers are protected with TMR. Because the PROTO variant is intended for verification, payload designers validate the full processing chain on this device before committing flight-grade RTAX2000SL-1CQ352V units in the identical CQFP-352 footprint.

🌐

Spacecraft Command and Telemetry Handling

Spacecraft bus avionics require telemetry encoders, command decoders, and time-tagged sequencers that must never fail to start. The RTAX2000SL's single-chip, live-at-power-up antifuse architecture eliminates external configuration memory - a common failure point in SRAM FPGAs - so command and telemetry logic is active from the first clock edge after power application. The chip-wide highway routing and segmentable clock resources simplify distribution of a mission clock across decoder, formatter, and FIFO interfaces. Implemented in the 21,504-CLB fabric, telemetry front ends occupy a small fraction of available logic, leaving room for growth. Engineering teams use the PROTO variant to validate CCSDS framing, CRC generation, and 1553-adjacent glue logic before building flight units, per the AC170 verification requirement.

🔧

Design Prototyping and Verification

The PROTO suffix defines this device's primary role: hardware prototyping of RTAX-S/SL designs before one-time-programmable flight units are burned. Because antifuse FPGAs cannot be reprogrammed, Microchip application note AC170 mandates that pin assignment, place-and-route, timing verification, and simulation all be completed using the RTAX-S/SL target, with Libero SoC optionally converting the design to a commercial Axcelerator device for reprogrammable iteration. Aldec ACT-H3Ki-CQ352 adaptors add a flash-based ProASIC3E prototyping path powered via the CQ352 leads or an onboard connector. The RTAX2000SL-1CQ352PROTO supports this flow with identical package and pinout to flight parts, catching I/O, timing, and integration issues early and de-risking expensive OTP flight silicon.

🧩

Instrument Control in Deep-Space Probes

Science instruments on deep-space probes demand logic that tolerates total ionizing dose and single-event effects over multi-year missions while consuming minimal power. The RTAX2000SL's CMOS antifuse fabric offers low static power, and the SL variant improves configuration-memory radiation tolerance relative to the base RTAX2000S. Instrument sequencers, ADC/DAC interface glue, and detector timing generators fit comfortably within the 32,256 logic cells, with embedded SRAM FIFOs buffering science data bursts. Live-at-power-up behavior ensures instrument control recovers automatically after safe-mode power cycles without ground intervention. Teams prototype detector timing and TMR-protected sequencing on this PROTO unit, then transfer the verified design to flight-grade RTAX2000SL-1CQ352V parts in the same CQFP-352 socket-compatible footprint.

🏭

Radiation-Tolerant Glue Logic and Bus Bridging

Many spacecraft boards still mix legacy MIL-STD interfaces, custom serial links, and modern peripherals that need bridging logic which must survive the space environment. The RTAX2000SL provides 2,000,000 gates of antifuse fabric in a hermetic CQFP-352 ceramic package suited to high-reliability assembly flows, implementing bus bridges, interrupt controllers, memory controllers, and arbitration logic in a single radiation-tolerant device. Single-chip integration removes external configuration parts from the reliability calculation, and deterministic antifuse routing supports timing closure for interface logic with fixed setup/hold budgets. Designers use the PROTO variant to bring up board-level interoperability with real peripheral silicon, verifying electrical timing against the actual CQFP-352 pinout before flight-unit programming.

🖥️

Space-Qualifiable Embedded Signal Processing

The RTAX2000SL integrates arithmetic-friendly logic cells and embedded SRAM with FIFO control, enabling moderate-rate DSP functions - FIR filters, FFTs, FFT-windowing, and correlators - in space hardware without a separate DSP device. Fabric-based multiply-accumulate pipelines can be sized to mission throughput, while the 250,000 ASIC gate equivalent density metric helps map algorithm complexity to silicon area. Antifuse determinism simplifies timing sign-off for pipelined datapaths, a significant advantage over SRAM FPGA reconfiguration variability in qualification campaigns. Low static power suits power-constrained platforms such as smallsats. Engineers develop and time-close the signal-chain design using the RTAX-S/SL flow on this PROTO device, then release the verified netlist to flight-grade RTAX2000SL-1CQ352V silicon.

What is the RTAX2000SL-1CQ352PROTO?
The RTAX2000SL-1CQ352PROTO is a radiation-tolerant FPGA from the Actel/Microchip RTAX-S/SL family with 2,000,000 equivalent system gates, 21,504 CLBs, and 32,256 logic cells in a 352-terminal CQFP package with 0.500 mm terminal pitch. The PROTO suffix marks it as a prototyping device for space-flight design verification. According to the RTAX-S/SL and RTAX-DSP datasheet (DS2169), the family is intended for space-based applications up to four million equivalent system gates.
What is the difference between RTAX2000SL-1CQ352PROTO and RTAX2000SL-1CQ352V?
The PROTO variant is a prototyping device used to validate designs before committing to one-time-programmable flight units, while the V-suffixed RTAX2000SL-1CQ352V is the space-flight grade version of the same die in the same CQFP-352 footprint. Both share 2,000,000 gates and 21,504 CLBs. Flight designs must be verified on the RTAX-S/SL device per Microchip application note AC170; PROTO devices exist specifically to enable this verification flow.
What is the best drop-in replacement for RTAX2000SL-1CQ352PROTO?
The closest drop-in replacement is the flight-grade RTAX2000SL-1CQ352V, which uses the same die and CQFP-352 package with pin-to-pin compatibility. For designs needing more margin, RTAX4000SL-1CQ352E in the same CQFP-352 footprint offers higher density. Because these are antifuse one-time-programmable devices, replacements require reprogramming, and final flight designs should always be verified on the actual target device per the AC170 prototyping flow.
What are the key specifications of RTAX2000SL-1CQ352PROTO that engineers should know?
Key specifications: 2,000,000 equivalent system gates; 21,504 configurable logic blocks; 32,256 logic cells; 250,000 ASIC gate equivalent; CMOS antifuse process with one-time-programmable interconnect; 352-terminal ceramic CQFP package with 0.500 mm terminal pitch; live-at-power-up single-chip configuration; embedded SRAM with FIFO control logic; segmentable clock resources. These figures come from the Microchip USA product listing and the RTAX-S/SL datasheet DS2169.
Is RTAX2000SL-1CQ352PROTO suitable for flight hardware?
No. The RTAX2000SL-1CQ352PROTO is the prototyping variant intended for design verification, simulation correlation, and system bring-up. For actual space-flight hardware, engineers should procure the flight-grade counterpart RTAX2000SL-1CQ352V in the identical CQFP-352 footprint. The RTAX-S/SL family itself is radiation-tolerant and designed for space-flight systems per Microchip, but PROTO units are not the qualification or flight deliverable.
Why does the RTAX-S/SL FPGA power up live without configuration?
The RTAX2000SL uses antifuse one-time-programmable interconnect, so the programmed configuration is hard-wired into the silicon and valid the instant power is applied. According to Microchip product documentation, this live-at-power-up behavior and true single-chip form factor eliminate external configuration PROMs and boot delay, which is a major advantage for spacecraft requiring immediate logic availability after power-on or recovery from a power cycle.
How do I prototype an RTAX2000SL design?
Use the PROTO device itself or the Libero SoC software flow described in Microchip application note AC170, which converts the RTAX-S/SL design to a compatible commercial Axcelerator device and package for reprogrammable prototyping. Critically, pin assignment, place-and-route, timing verification, and simulation must be done using the RTAX-S/SL device, and the reverse flow from Axcelerator back to RTAX-S/SL is not permitted. Aldec ACT-H3Ki-CQ352 adaptors enable flash-based ProASIC3E prototyping.
What is the price of RTAX2000SL-1CQ352PROTO?
Pricing for RTAX2000SL-1CQ352PROTO is quote-based: radiation-tolerant space-grade FPGAs are typically not stocked at standard distributor price breaks, and unit costs vary significantly by quantity, screening level, and delivery schedule. As of 2026-09-02, no published tier pricing is available from the verified sources; request a quote through XAIPART or check Octopart for real-time distributor availability and market intelligence.
Where to buy RTAX2000SL-1CQ352PROTO online?
RTAX2000SL-1CQ352PROTO is listed by specialist distributors including Jotrin Electronics, Microchip USA, FPGAkey, and VEKEMO, with pricing aggregated on Octopart. Because this is a space-grade radiation-tolerant device with long lead times, most suppliers fulfill via quote rather than an in-stock shopping cart. XAIPART accepts quote requests for this MPN and its flight-grade variants in the same CQFP-352 package.
What is the lead time for RTAX2000SL-1CQ352PROTO?
Lead time is not published in the verified web data as of 2026-09-02. Space-grade antifuse FPGAs in the RTAX-S/SL family commonly carry extended factory lead times due to low-volume, high-reliability ceramic packaging and screening, often quoted in months rather than weeks. Contact XAIPART or authorized Microchip distributors such as Microchip USA for a current delivery quote before committing to a program schedule.
Is RTAX2000SL the same as RTAX2000S?
They are closely related but not identical. The RTAX2000SL is the SL variant of the same RTAX-S family with 2,000,000 equivalent gates, offering enhanced radiation tolerance in configuration memory relative to the base RTAX2000S. Both are fabricated by Actel (now Microchip Technology), and both are available in the CQFP-352 package, so RTAX2000S-1CQ352V can serve as a same-footprint substitute where SL-level SEU tolerance is not required.
Is RTAX2000SL-1CQ352PROTO suitable for satellite payload processing?
Yes, the RTAX-S/SL family is explicitly targeted at space-flight systems, and the RTAX2000SL with its 2,000,000 gates, 32,256 logic cells, and embedded SRAM with FIFO control is well suited to satellite payload data processing, command and telemetry, and instrument control. For flight units use the V-suffixed flight grade in the same CQFP-352 footprint; the PROTO variant is reserved for prototyping and design verification ahead of flight build.
Hey Google, what can replace RTAX2000SL-1CQ352PROTO?
Same-footprint replacements in the CQFP-352 package include RTAX2000SL-1CQ352V (flight grade, same die), RTAX2000SL-1CQ352E and RTAX2000SL-1CQ352B (engineering and screened grades), and higher-density RTAX4000SL-1CQ352E. Lower-density RTAX1000SL-CQ352V and RTAX250SL-CQ352V also share the footprint. All are Actel/Microchip RTAX-S/SL family parts; no cross-brand pin-compatible radiation-tolerant equivalent is available in verified data.
What is the best Xilinx equivalent for RTAX2000SL-1CQ352PROTO?
There is no true cross-brand drop-in equivalent. Xilinx Virtex-QV series parts address the space market but use SRAM-based configuration in flip-chip BGA packages, not the CQFP-352 antifuse footprint, so they are not pin-compatible. The verified cross-reference data contains no cross-brand CQFP-352 radiation-tolerant FPGA. Engineers migrating architectures should treat Xilinx space FPGAs as a redesign path, not a replacement, and re-verify the design on the target device.
Where to download the RTAX2000SL datasheet PDF?
The authoritative datasheet is the RTAX-S/SL and RTAX-DSP Radiation-Tolerant FPGAs datasheet, document DS2169, available directly from Microchip at ww1.microchip.com (file rtaxs_ds2169_v18.pdf). It details family features, package options, and ordering information for all RTAX-S/SL densities. Historical Actel-branded RTAX2000SL datasheets (e.g., v5.3) are also mirrored on aggregator sites such as datasheet4u.com. Pinout tables are located within that datasheet.
How is SEU mitigated in RTAX2000SL designs?
Because the antifuse configuration is immune to configuration upset but user flip-flops remain sensitive to single-event upsets, designers apply triple-module redundancy (TMR) to registers and state machines, plus scrubbing where appropriate, using the design flow in Libero SoC. Microchip provides SEU mitigation guidance and tool support for RTAX-S/SL space designs. The SL variant enhances radiation tolerance relative to the base RTAX2000S, but TMR remains standard practice for critical flight logic on this family.

Selection Guide

Choose RTAX2000SL-1CQ352PROTO when you need to validate an RTAX-S/SL design in hardware before programming expensive one-time-programmable flight silicon; its CQFP-352 footprint matches flight parts exactly. Choose RTAX2000SL-1CQ352V for the actual flight build of the same 2,000,000-gate design. Choose RTAX2000SL-1CQ352E or the B-suffixed screened part for engineering and qualification units. If your logic exceeds ~2M gates, RTAX4000SL-1CQ352E in the identical package provides 4M gates without a PCB respin; if it fits under 1M gates, RTAX1000SL-CQ352V reduces cost on the same footprint. There is no cross-brand drop-in equivalent: Xilinx space FPGAs are SRAM-based in different packages and require full redesign. Always complete pin assignment and timing closure on the RTAX-S/SL target per application note AC170.

Key Differentiators

  • Dedicated prototyping variant (vs RTAX2000SL-1CQ352V)
  • Same-footprint density upgrade path (vs RTAX4000SL-1CQ352E)
  • Live-at-power-up single-chip operation (vs SRAM-based Xilinx space FPGAs)

Design Notes

Per Microchip application note AC170, all design work - pin assignment, place-and-route, timing verification, and simulation - must be done using the RTAX-S/SL device. Libero SoC may convert the design to an Axcelerator device for reprogrammable prototyping, but the reverse flow is never permitted. Prototyping on Axcelerator alone risks missing RTAX-specific timing and I/O behavior. Burn antifuse flight units only after full verification on PROTO or engineering-grade hardware.

The CQFP-352 package has a 0.500 mm terminal pitch with lead-frame inductances typical of large ceramic quad flat packs. For high-speed I/O, keep series termination resistors close to the package and use short, impedance-controlled traces. Assign switching signals away from clock terminals and use the segmentable clock resources for distribution. Verify power integrity with adequate decoupling on all VDD/VSSI lead groups distributed around the 352-terminal perimeter.

Antifuse FPGAs are one-time programmable: an incorrect programming run cannot be recovered. Establish a controlled programming procedure with checksum verification, and program flight-grade RTAX2000SL-1CQ352V units only after design freeze. For SEU robustness, apply TMR to control registers and state machines in the fabric; the SL variant improves configuration tolerance but user flip-flops still require mitigation in radiation environments.
