Renesas’ radiation-hardened load switches provide a simpler and smaller way to turn on and off your power rails in multi-rail power systems compared to a discrete FET. Load switches are also ideal for redundant power distribution, power sequencing and input-output protection of POL based power distribution systems.
Parts Approval Document (PAD) is a control paper whose purpose is to identify unequivocally the component and to provide information about its evaluation and its acceptability regarding to six steps
Radiation Testing Services – RADLAB
Radiation testing (ionizing and nonionizing) effect is one of the main factors affecting the reliability of equipment and systems operating in space. However, there is also a growing interest in it in other technological fields such as avionics, high energy physics, the automotive industry, nuclear industry, etc.
The solid-state relay has no moving parts and uses the electrical and optical properties of solid-state semiconductors to perform its input to output isolation and switching functions
Propose a DD test standard
• Should be available by the end of the year after ESA and Components
Technology Board (CTB)/Radiation Working group (RWG) comments
• Goal of this presentation
⇒ Not a draft of the future guidelines, but:
• Remind the physical processes responsible of the displacement damages
• Remind the electrical effects
• List the main parameters that should be taken into account
The different DD level may be obtained by different particles.
Proton is preferred. The energy of proton should be selected based on the proton energy spectrum inside of the spacecraft.
Neutron may give underestimate test results.
TID and DDD should be tested on the same group samples.
The new CERN High energy AcceleRator Mixed Field facility (CHARM) allows to test several single components, as well as more complex devices, at different locations, characterized by particle spectra representative of the high- and low-altitude atmospheric, particle accelerator and ground environments.
Fault Injection is an inexpensive technique that during design time, refine the design for the test fixture, improve the quality of stimuli, in order to maximize the error rate, and test the design observability.
A modular architecture specifically designed for integrating technology demonstrators and test applications in a fast-to-orbit cycle allows any interested team to prepare its payload for flight into orbit in less than 1 year.
