COTS Components Radiation Test Activity and Results at MSSL

Abstract

this paper reports a full radiation test results for two popular commercial off the shelf (COTS) devices ADC128S102 and DAC121S101, targeted for use in MSSL's VIS instrument on ESA's EUCLID mission. The tests include total ionization dose (TID) and single event effect (SEE). The TID test shows both devices have passed 30krad test limit. Single event latch-up (SEL) has been observed at both devices at LET of 60 MeV.cm2.mg-1 or below.
