Apogee Semiconductor AP54RHC301 Rad-Hard Dual 3-Input Majority Voters

Apogee Semiconductor AP54RHC301 Rad-Hard Dual 3-Input Majority Voters are designed for space, medical imaging, and other applications requiring radiation tolerance and high reliability. The radiation-hardened by design AP54RHC301 Dual 3-Input Majority Voters are fabricated in a 180nm CMOS process, delivering high resiliency to single-event effects (SEE) and to a total ionizing dose (TID) up to 30krad (Si).

The Apogee Semiconductor AP54RHC301 Rad-Hard Dual 3-Input Majority Voters are part of the AP54RHC logic family operating across a voltage supply range of 1.65V to 5.5V. The AP54RHC301 unique discrete majority voter is a logic function that offers two instances of a triple-input voter gate with individual error outputs. Additionally, a dedicated “error detected” indication is available in addition to an external error input signal.

The AP54RHC301 supports zero-power penalty™ cold-sparing along with Class 2 ESD protection on all inputs and outputs. A proprietary output stage and full power-on reset (POR) circuit allow the AP54RHC301 to be cold-spared in any redundant configuration with no static power loss on any device pad. The redundant output stage also features a high drive capability with low static power loss.

The AP54RHC301 also features a triple-redundant design throughout its entire circuitry, which allows it to be immune to single-event transients (SET) without requiring additional redundant devices. The AP54RHC301 is available in an SMD TSSOP-14 package with an extended operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Rad-Hard Overview

Apogee Semiconductor creates Radiation Hardened (Rad-Hard) semiconductor devices for Rad-Hard and extreme Single Event Effects (SEE, SET, SEU, SEL) fields; from Space (QML-V, QML-S) to MEO, LaGrange, LEO, Atmospheric to Downhole applications. These devices are also compatible with all aerospace, defense, military, and naval applications having a full Mil-Temp range of -55°C to +125°C.
