TI introduces radiation tolerant high temperature-resistant devices for oil exploration medical and aerospace equipment
Texas Instruments has introduced a family of high-reliability power management ICs and advanced CMOS logic devices to increase system-level reliability in applications exposed to long-term radiation and extreme temperatures, such as downhole drilling, x-ray imaging, satellite systems and high-altitude avionics.
The
new UC18xx pulse width modulation (PWM) controllers for switching power supply-based applications, plus the new UC1525B-SP offer improved rate sensitivity, allowing for greater than 30 krad(Si) tolerance to low dose rate radiation. In addition, three new parts in TI’s SN54ACxx AC logic family reach a total irradiated dose (TID) level of 50 krad(Si) to allow for lower leakage current and improved radiation performance.
