CFC-400XS Compact Flight Computer
CubeSat compact flight computer with defense-grade Xilinx UltraScale+ MPSoC, CyberDog software suite and Linux reference design, flying since 2021.
Description
The CFC-400XS is a Compact Flight Computer (CFC) combining a General-Purpose Processor (GPP) and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA).
Overview: high performance GPP / FPGA; includes the CyberDog Software Suite; includes a Linux reference design; on-orbit re-programmable; based on the legacy CFC-400 hardware platform. Ideal for Command and Data Handling (C&DH), payload interface and data processing, and Battle Management Command, Control and Communications (BMC3) applications.
Key characteristics: processor board with defense-grade Xilinx UltraScale+ Multi-Processor System-on-Chip (MPSoC); radiation tolerant supervisor board implementing radiation mitigation techniques; daughter card interfaces with low, medium and high speed serial plus 3x-8x 1000Base-T (GbE) Ethernet.
Size, weight and power: CubeSat 82 x 82 x 27-43 mm, 239-350 g, 6-25 W. Technology and manufacturing readiness are TRL 9 / MRL 10, with flight heritage since 2021.
