New RadHard-By-Design products released by Aeroflex at NSREC 2014
NewsJuly 15, 2014
PARIS. Aeroflex Microelectronic Solutions - HiRel engineers expanded their RadHard-by-Design (RHD) Analog Function Series family with four new products -- Quad Op Amps, Quad Comparators, Analog Multiplexers, and A to D/D to A converter. The devices are specifically developed for spacecraft designers involved in work on LEO, MEO, GEO, HEO, or Deep Space missions with specific radiation requirements. They made the announcement this week at the Nuclear Space Radiation Effects Conference (NSREC) in Paris.
“All RHD series components are designed for low power, single power supply operation (3.3V to 5V) over the full military temperature range of -55oC to +125oC and are all available in industry standard hermetic ceramic SOIC packages,” says Anthony Jordan, Vice-President, Product Marketing and Applications Engineering at Aeroflex Microelectronic Solutions - HiRel.
“With industry plans for deep space missions to Jupiter and its moons requiring higher radiation performance, the need for very low power, immunity to ELDRS (Enhanced Low Does Radiation Sensitivity), devices able to survive greater than 1 Mrad(Si) of Total Ionizing Dose (TID), while immune to Single Event Latch-up (SEL) became apparent,” Jordan says. “The design approach to the RHD Series leveraged Aeroflex’s development of higher complexity mixed-signal products that have proven radiation performance, as well as flight heritage (TRL 9). The RHD Series of RadHard-by-Design Quad Op Amps, Quad Comparators, Analog Multiplexers, and A to D/D to A converters meet these deep space radiation performance requirements.”
All products are available for non-flight today, for other availabilities see below:
- Voltage Reference (RHD5961) available January 2015
- Voltage Thermometer (RHD5962)available January 2015
- A-to-D Converters (RHD5950, RHD5958) available now.
