Single Event Effects (SEE) response of embedded power PCs in a Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGA for a space application

We present heavy ion and proton SEE data on Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGA XC4VFX60. XC4VFX60 FPGA embeds two power PC405 processors. Purpose of these tests was the validation of this FPGA for use on hubble space telescope (HST) next servicing mission.
