The goal of the nanoFIP project is to provide a radiation tolerant FPGA-based replacement for Alstom ’s WorldFIP agent, the MicroFIP chip.

The

is a rad-tol FPGA that acts as a client node in the communication over the WorldFIP fieldbus.

It is housed in a Microsemi ProASIC3, A3P400, 208 PQFP FPGA.
The nanoFIP implements a minimal subset of the WorldFIP services and 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.
