Highlights from rad-hard measurements DC-DCs in different DC-DCs have been tested so far. Three of them are commercial and were released in May 2011 and June of them (TI56221 and TI56121) failed after about 35krad dose (value considering 0.8mC Sr-90 source). 1 of them (LMZ20010) passed ~300krad TID. We stopped Sr-90 irradiation and changed to Fe-55 (in progress). Another device we tested is the AMIS 2, sent by Katja Klein. It didn’t work to specifications, even at no load. 2 more 2011 commercial DC-DCs are on order and we are designing PCBs to take measurements.
Vout_irradiated after 24hrs TI56221 Vout varies by 5 mV (variation increased 3 mV from the beginning of the irradiation)
Irradiation failure TI56221 Green Vout Yellow Vout (no-irradiated) Blue Iout (Vout/0.1 Ohms) Failure at ~4:47PM 8/9/2011 Irradiation started at 5:35P 8/8/2011 ~23hrs later after irradiation
2 nd Irradiation after annealing TI Annealing: 80 C /4min -Failure after 6:30h of irradiation. -Results are notably different Vout varies ~4V
