SBOK052 May 2024 OPA4H014-SEP
Studies were performed to characterize the effects of heavy-ion irradiation on the single-event latch-up (SEL) performance of the OPA4H014-SEP precision quad-channel operational amplifier. For device qualification, heavy ions with an LETEFF of 43MeV-cm2 / mg were used to irradiate the devices with a fluence of 1 × 107 ions / cm2. The results demonstrated that the OPA4H014-SEP is SEL-free up to the specified surface LETEFF = 43MeV-cm2/ mg at 125°C.
Characterization of single-event transients (SET) and correlation testing of SEL were also performed, up to a surface LETEFF = 50MeV-cm2/ mg at 125°C. These results suggest the device has additional margin beyond the specified surface LETEFF = 43MeV-cm2/ mg at 125°C.
