The ISL71xxx family of products, radiation-tolerant plastic-package ICs, enable cost-effective solutions for short-duration low Earth orbit (LEO) mission profiles.
Intersil radiation-tolerant plastic products include:
One-time radiation and electrical characterization during development for:
- Total ionizing dose (TID) up to 30krad (Si) at a dose rate of ≤10mrad/sec.
- Single event effects (SEE) with a linear energy transfer (LET) up to 43MeV
- Military temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.
Automotive AEC-Q100 “like” qualification
- 2000 hours of burn-in
- 500 Temperature Cycles
- Package moisture sensitivity testing
- Outgassing of molding compound tested to ASTM E 595 specification
- Small form factor surface mount plastic packages, typically with Nickle/Palladium/Gold (Ni/Pd/Au) lead finishes
Manufacturing
- 25ºC electrical screening (w/ -55C to +125C guard banded limits)
- No ongoing in-line quality monitors, i.e. burn-in
- High-reliability materials: Lead frame (NiPdAg or NiPdAg-Au plated to mitigate tin whiskers), Bond wires (Gold only, not copper)
- Enhanced products (EP) policy in terms of change control and controlled base line (assembly & testing)
