Single-event effect radiation test results of radiation-hardened IEEE1394 Firewire ASICs [space applications]

This work presents single-event radiation test results for two Aeroflex IEEE1394 Firewire ASICs developed by the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) Integrated Program Office. Both ASICs performed very well and met all NPOESS radiation requirements for space usage.
