The purpose of this study is to characterize the single-event-effects (SEE) performance due to heavy-ion irradiation of the THVD9491-SEP, 1.2V to 5.5V octal bus transceiver. Heavy-ions with an LETEFF of 47.5MeV × cm2 / mg were used to irradiate six production devices. Flux of approximately 105ions/cm2 × s and fluence of approximately 107ions / cm2 per run were used for the single-event latch-up (SEL) characterization and flux of approximately 104ions / cm2× s and fluence of approximately 106ions / cm2 per run were used for the single-event transients (SET) characterization. The results demonstrate that the THVD9491-SEP is SEL-free up to LETEFF = 47.5MeV × cm2/ mg at 125°C. Additionally, the single-event transient (SET) performance for output voltage excursions ≥ |10%| from the nominal voltage are discussed.

The THVD9491-SEP is a space enhanced, ±40V fault-protected full-duplex RS-422/RS-485 transceiver using a 1.65V to 5.5V logic supply for data and enable logic signals, and a 3V to 5.5V bus side supply. The device has a slew rate select function that enables the use at two maximum speeds based on the SLR pin setting.
