Introduction
The GR740-PBGA device is the plastic version of the radiation-hard quad-core fault-tolerant LEON4 SPARC V8 processor targeting space constellations.
The GR740-PBGA has the same functionality, fault-tolerance and radiation-hardness as the GR740 system-on-chip device.
Here is more information on the GR740 device, which is also applicable to the GR740-PBGA except the package information.
The GR740-PBGA has a Plastic Ball Grid Array (PBGA) with 625 ball, being footprint compatible the GR740 Ceramic Column Grid Array (CCGA), featuring the same pinout and 1mm pitch.
The GR740-PBGA is made available in to quality and temperature ranges:
- GR740-CP-PBGA625 - prototype quality, commercial temperature range
- GR740-AS-PBGA625 - flight quality (ESCC-Q-60-13C class 2), automotive temperature range -40C to +105C
Availability

Features
Applications
The GR740-PBGA device is targeted at high-performance general purpose processing on satellite constellations. The architecture is suitable for both symmetric and asymmetric multiprocessing. Shared resources can be monitored to support mixed-criticality applications.
Software Support
Quad-Core LEON4 Next Generation Microprocessor Development Board
The GR-CPCI-GR740 evaluation board has been designed for evaluation of the GR740 device (using the GR740 LGA625 component):
