Current single event effects and radiation damage results for candidate spacecraft electronics

Abstract

We present data on the vulnerability of a variety of candidate spacecraft electronics to proton and heavy ion induced single event effects, proton-induced damage, and total ionizing dose. Devices tested include optoelectronics, digital, analog, linear bipolar, hybrid devices, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and DC-DC converters, among others.
