LEON 3FT 32-bit SPARC™ Microprocessor

Based on the industry-standard SPARC V8 architecture, the UT699 32-bit Fault Tolerant microprocessor is a system-on-chip and is part of the LEON product family that has a long lineage in the space industry.

The UT699 is a pipelined monolithic, high-performance, fault-tolerant microprocessor targeted for applications such as:

  • Spacecraft on-board computers
  • Payload processing
  • Nuclear power plant controllers
  • Critical transportation systems
  • High-altitude avionics
  • Medical electronics 
  • X-ray cargo scanning.
