LEON 4FT Processor-status and plans

Elaine Gonsalves

Aeroflex has been providing microprocessors to the Aerospace and Defense community for over 25 years. We begin with a radiation hardened 1750 / RISC in 1990, introduced a 80196, and more recently completed QML V qualification of a SPARC based LEON3-FT processor, our UT699. Aeroflex has begun development work on our next generation processor roadmap in conjunction with our sister facility, Aeroflex Gaisler in Sweden. Aeroflex will elaborate on the key features and operating enhancements being introduced with a multi-core LEON4 FT architecture. Also discussed will be the tool suite, applications support and board products to support our next generation processors.
