Xilinx Confidential NASA meeting 6/26/06 11 Venus Express TU Braunschweig, Germany Image Processing (VMC Venus express Monitoring Camera) Mitigation Techniques: XQVR600-4CB228M EDAC + TMR + Scrubbing Customer paper: « To maintain correct operation in the presence of SEU errors, extensive EDAC functions are implemented. All application specific functional blocks are implemented using TMR design. The most important measure is to scrub the configuration in short time intervals to eliminate the SEU effects. A complete processor reconfiguration is scheduled every hour to avoid accumulation of persistent errors… ». Launched 09nov05 from Baikonour
