CRaTeBo: a high-speed, radiation-tolerant and versatile testing platform for FPGA radiation qualification for high-energy particle accelerator applications
Résumé
The CHARM Radiation Tolerant FPGA Tester Board (CRaTeBo) isa FPGA testing platform for the CERN High-energy Accelerator (CHARM)irradiation facility. It is meant to ease the radiation testing ofFPGA-based systems by providing users with a radiation-tolerantcarrier card featuring an FPGA interface, a high-speed communicationinterface, a flexible power supply, and an HPC-FMC connector foradditional front-end electronics. It is foreseen to be a permanentinstallation in the CHARM facility at CERN, giving users thepossibility to carry out radiation tests of their system withminimum effort on the test setup development.
