SEE Tests of the NAND Flash Radiation Tolerant Intelligent Memory Stack

The NAND Flash Radiation-Tolerant Intelligent Memory Stack (RTIMS FLASH) was developed to allow designers of space applications to take advantage of the large density offered by Commercial-Off-The-Shelf NAND Flash, without having to deal with radiation-induced upsets and high-current events. It can be configured in three operating modes, offering different trade-offs in terms of upset protection vs memory size. The effectiveness of the RTIMS Flash was tested during two test campaigns at the Heavy Ion Facility, in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium.
