Rad-Hard Analog Mixed-Signal IP blocks

ISD offers a comprehensive portfolio of radiation hardened analog mixed-signal functional circuit blocks suitable either for stand-alone use or for integration as IP blocks in complex SoC and ASIC system designs. The rigorous and proven radiation hardening approach applied at system architecture, circuit design and technology levels ensures robust performance and reliable operation suitable for a number of demanding applications such as:  
  • Aerospace and defence

  • High reliability industrial process control in radio-active environments

  • On-board housekeeping implementation of functions

  • High reliability instrumentation, measurement and data acquisition

 

The offered analog mixed-signal IP library has been designed in the radiation proven CMOS-SOI 150nm ATMX150RHA technology of MicrochipTM (former AtmelTM). All the IP blocks have been electrically characterized over their specified supply voltage and operating temperature ranges. The radiation endurance has been proven at Total Ionizing Dose (TID) levels up to 300 krad (Si) according to ESCC 22900 and characterized with heavy-ions against Single Event Effects (SEE) according to ESCC 25100.
