Aeroflex builds A/D converters for Hi-Rel space apps

Aeroflex RAD, a division of Aeroflex Inc. announced a family of radiation tolerant A/D converters suited for military, aerospace and HiRel space applications. Using specially processed Linear Technology die, Aeroflex RAD's A/D converter family begins with the RAD1419, a 14-bit, 150mW power dissipation product packaged in a 28-lead flatpack.

According to Aeroflex, customers asked the company to provide Class S, A/D converters built to their custom flow. With the help of Linear Technology, Aeroflex can now support RAD1419 prototypes, E/M, and SCD Mil- Standard flight units.

The RAD1419 meets 100 krad(Si) with SEL immunity to LET's up to 55 MeV-cm2/mg and a military temp range of -55ºC to 125ºC. HiRel and Electromechanical screening is offered with Electromechanical devices tri-temp tested (-55ºC, 25ºC, 125ºC).

Key highlights:

• 800ksps sample rate
• 150mW power dissipation
• Typical performance: 81.5dB S/(N + D) and 93dB THD
• No missing pipeline delays or missing codes
• Nap and shutdown modes
• 28-lead hermetic ceramic flatpack
• Available to custom flows, 100 krads(si)

Pricing:The RAD1419 RHA TID Level R (100 krad) sells for $1758 in quantities of 100 or more.

Availability: RAD1419 prototype and production orders are being accepted now. Over TID Levels are also available.
