10 Conclusions

The harsh environment in space require robust and reliable integrated circuits. While some COTS and Q100 devices may meet radiation requirements, it can prove to be costly and time consuming to qualify these devices. And although radiation reliability is the primary concern, there still exists many other risks and uncertainties when proving the reliability of a product in space.

TI has released the Space Enhanced Plastic (Space EP) family of products to eliminate the uncertainty and cost of upscreening and allow for much quicker design cycles. Customers can look to leverage the detailed radiation reports, and enhanced quality flow that Space EP provides and has shown to meet mission requirements for LEO satellites. Space EP products can be recognized on ti.com by the suffix "-SEP" on the product page and in the data sheet.

For higher risk space missions that require more stringent radiation and reliability requirements, TI still offers the fully qualified QMLV family of space products, with TID levels up to 300 krad(Si), SEL and SEFI immunity up to 120 MeVcm2/mg and comprehensive SEE characterization.
