Abstract

The purpose of this study is to characterize the single-event effects (SEE) performance due to heavy-ion irradiation of the ADC3664-SEP. Heavy-ions with LET_EFF (Effective Linear Energy Transfer) of up to 51MeV × cm²/ mg were used to irradiate the device. Tests were run across a range of flux and fluences for the characterization. Flux up to 10⁵ ions / (cm² × s) and fluence between 10⁵ ions / cm² and 10⁷ ions / cm² were used per run. The results demonstrated that the ADC3664-SEP is single event latch-up free at T = 125°C. Single event upsets are characterized at 25°C and no functional interrupts (power-cycle events) were seen up to 51MeV × cm²/ mg.
