Dev.) Use of lowest cost components (COTS) is almost NEVER the lowest cost system solution

© Robert Baumann 3/27/2015 TI Information – Selective Disclosure Slide 12/ Future Circular Colliders Conference RHA - Summary Technology Scaling has reduced rad sensitivity BUT a wide number of rad environments cannot be serviced by COTS alone. Making the correct choices is HARD & mistakes are expensive! Invest in radiation characterization and modeling (Tools) & build and maintain radiation expertise and experience (People). COTS+, MIL, EP, Space parts can help meet many system reqs. BUT component solutions are not sufficient at higher fluences. Disparate R&D group requests should be organized and combined when possible = better pricing through volume!
