Single-Event Effect Testing of the Analog Devices AD8041ARZ Operational Amplifier

This study was undertaken to determine the single event transient distribution of a transimpedance amplifier configuration of the AD8041 Operational Amplifier. The AD8041 is made in a bipolar technology and the application of interest has a bipolar supply of ±5 V. The device was monitored for transient events on the output voltage during exposure to a heavy ion beam at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s (LBNL) 88-inch Cyclotron.

NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s Compendium of Radiation Effects Test Results

Total ionizing dose, displacement damage dose, and single event effects testing were performed to characterize and determine the suitability of candidate electronics for NASA space utilization. Devices tested include FETs, flash memory, FPGAs, optoelectronics, digital, analog, and bipolar devices.

Recent Radiation Damage and Single Event Effect Results for Candidate Spacecraft Electronics

We present data on the vulnerability of a variety of candidate spacecraft electronics to proton and heavy-ion induced single-event effects and proton-induced damage. Devices tested include optoelectronics, digital, analog, linear bipolar, hybrid devices, Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs), Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs), and DC-DC converters, among others.
