SLVK145 august 2023 TPS7H2201-SEP
PRODUCTION DATA
During SEL characterization, the device was heated using forced hot air, maintaining the DUT temperature at 125°C. The die temperature was monitored prior to radiation using a FLIR IR-camera.
The species used for the SEL testing was Silver (109Ag) ion with an angle-of-incedence of 0° for an LETEFF = 48 MeV·cm2/mg (for more details, see Depth, Range, and LET EFF Calculation). The kinetic energy in the vacuum is 1.634 GeV (15-MeV/amu line). Flux of approximately 105 ions/cm2·s and a fluence of approximately 107 ions/cm2 were used for the three runs. Run duration to achieve this fluence was approximately 2 minutes (per 1 × 107 ions·cm2). The three devices were powered up and exposed to the heavy-ions using the maximum recommended voltage of 7 V and maximum load of 6 A. No SEL events were observed during all three runs, indicating that the TPS7H2201-SEP is SEL-free. Table 8-3 shows the SEL test conditions and results. Figure 7-2 shows a typical plot of current versus time for an SEL testing.
For all runs, the device was loaded with a ≈ 6 amps load.
Run Number | Unit Number | Ion | LETEFF (MeV·cm2/mg) | Flux (ions·cm2/s) | Fluence (ions·cm2) | VIN (V) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1 | 109Ag | 48 | 1.02 × 105 | 1.00 × 107 | 7 |
2 | 2 | 109Ag | 48 | 8.60 × 104 | 1.00 × 107 | 7 |
3 | 3 | 109Ag | 48 | 1.08 × 105 | 1.00 × 107 | 7 |
Using the MFTF method described in SLVK047 and combining (or summing) the fluences of the eight runs at 125°C (3.00 × 107 ions·cm2), the upper-bound cross-section (using a 95% confidence level) is calculated as:
