Radiation Hardened Quad Power Supply Sequencer Evaluation Board (Dual Cascaded Sequencer Configuration)

The low dose rate ionizing dose response of semiconductors has become a key issue in space applications. We are addressing this changed market by introducing wafer by wafer low dose rate acceptance testing as a complement to current high dose rate acceptance testing.

Over the past 19 years, the space industry has placed a higher value on understanding the effects that long-term, low dose radiation can have on ICs. Intersil's radiation testing specialist Nick van Vonno discusses why this shift has occurred and what we are doing to address this change.

With the launch of the ELDRS (Extended Low Dose Radiation Sensitivity) facility, we have solidified our leadership position in the Space IC market. Our acceptance testing strategy hasn't changed, we've just improved it by extending the scope of the type of radiation testing we provide. Nick van Vonno discusses our commitment to wafer-level radiation acceptance testing.
