As we have already discussed in the introduction of this paper, given the relative youth of the FPGA tech-nology, and its not yet wide acceptance in safety-related application fields, there are very few design standards that specifically addressing the FPGA technology. This, to-gether with the ease and the low cost of prototyping and fixing defects, often led designers to underestimate design issues, thus causing projects failures. In order to overcome the lack of standards and to guide designers, several industrial guidelines and lessons learned from projects have been published.Radiations, both in space and at ground level, may cause a system to fail. In particular, radiations hit-ting the silicon surface of digital circuits may alter the content of memory elements. Radiation hitting SRAM-based FPGA devices may have even worse effects, since they could permanently corrupt the contents of the con-figuration memory (until a device reconfiguration), thus changing the functionality implemented in the device
