Radiation characterization of the ADSP2100A digital signal processor

A comprehensive radiation effects characterization of the Analog Devices ADSP2100A digital signal processor for the space environment has been completed using Californium fission fragments, laser light, heavy ions and protons. Results of these investigations led to the design of a latchup immune device that has been characterized with respect to SEU and total dose effects, as well as a thoroughly tested latchup protection and fault tolerant circuit.<
