Xilinx announced the stand-alone Triple Module Redundancy (TMR) software tool for programmable devices, co-developed with Sandia National Labs. The TMR Tool, combined with Xilinx's QPRO Virtex-II radiation-tolerant platform FPGAs, mitigates the effects of single event upsets in harsh radiation environments enabling the benefits of reconfigurable technologies to be employed in very high reliability applications including deep space, avionics, satellite, and communications. The XTMR tool dramatically improves productivity by automatically generating redundant and associated voting circuitry. Designers only need to generate a design once while the parametrically selectable software tool replicates the design twice. Because this task was previous done manually, the time it takes for this task is greatly reduced and the potential for error eliminated.
