SBOK086 December 2024 TRF0208-SEP
The purpose of this study was to characterize the effect of heavy-ion irradiation on the single-event effect (SEE) performance of the TRF0208-SEP 11GHz, fully differential, ADC driver RF amplifier. Extensive SEE testing with heavy-ions having LETEFF from 9.62 to 56.1MeV-cm2/mg were conducted with heavy-ion fluences ranging from 106 to 107 ions/cm2 per run, at two different voltages and input conditions. The SEE results demonstrated that the TRF0208-SEP is SEL-free up to LETEFF = 56.1MeV-cm2/mg. CREME96-based worst-week event-rate calculations for LEO (ISS) and GEO orbits clearly demonstrate the robustness of the TRF0208-SEP in two harshly conservative space environments.
