Single Event Effects Testing of the ISL70444SEH, Quad
40V Radiation Hard Precision Operational Amplifiers
Introduction
SEE Results Objective
There are many phenomena that occur past Earth's
atmosphere that commercial integrated circuits do not
encounter. Among these, we have effects that can cause a
variety of transient and destructive effects in analog circuits;
these are termed Single Event Latch-up (SEL), Single Event
Burnout (SEB), and Single Event Transients (SET). Collectively
they are called Single Event Effects (SEE). SEE can lead to
system level failures including the disruption in normal
operation as well as permanent damage. For a device to be
deemed reliable under heavy ion environments, it should be
designed from the ground up with SEE Hardness in mind. It will
then undergo extensive SEE testing which then validates the
design. This report discusses the results of SEE testing for the
ISL70444SEH.
The objective of the SEE Testing was to evaluate the
ISL70444SEH's Single Event Transient (SET) behavior and its
susceptibility to destructive events induced by single event
effects such as Single Event Burnout (SEB).

Product Description
The ISL70444SEH features 4 low-power amplifiers optimized
to provide maximum dynamic range. This op amp features a
common mode input voltage range that goes all the way to the
rails and a rail-to-rail output voltage swing.
The ISL70444SEH also offers low power, low offset voltage,
and low temperature drift, making it ideal for applications
requiring both high DC accuracy and AC performance. This
amplifier is designed to operate over a single supply range of
2.7V to 40V or a split supply voltage range of ±1.35V to ±20V.
Applications for this amplifier include precision
instrumentation, data acquisition, precision power supply
controls, and process controls.
The ISL70444SEH is available in a 14 Ld hermetic ceramic
flatpack and operates over the extended temperature range of
-55°C to +125°C. A summary of the op amp features is as

SEE Testing Facility
Testing for the ISL70444SEH was conducted at Texas A&M
University (TAMU) Cyclotron Institute, Heavy Ion Facility. This
facility is coupled with a K500 super-conducting cyclotron
which is capable of generating a wide range of test particles
with various energy, flux and fluence levels needed for
advanced radiation testing.
SEE Testing Procedure
The ISL70444SEH was tested for Single Event Burnout (SEB)
using Au ions at normal incidence (LET = 86.4 MeVocm2/mg)
with a case temperature of 125°C and Single Event Transient
with a gain of 10 using Ne, Ar, Kr, Ag, Pr and Au, and gain of 1
with Kr and Pr which provided the range of LET values needed
for the tests. In both cases the case temperature was 25°C.
The Device Under Test (DUT) was mounted in 14 lead dual
in-line packages with the lid removed. It was then placed in the
beam line and irradiated with heavy ions of the appropriate
species. The beam was directed onto the exposed die and the
beam flux, beam fluence and error in device outputs were
monitored. There were 8 parts in total, SN1 through SN4 were
used for SEB testing and SN5-SN8 were used for SET testing.
The testing of the ISL70444SEH was conducted remotely from
the control room at TAMU. Power to the DUT was supplied via
bench-top power supplies and connected via heavy gauge
stranded wires to minimize loss. The supply currents were
monitored along with device outputs. Supply currents were
monitored via digital ammeters and device outputs were
monitored via oscilloscope to help identify how the part
reacted to various SEE. Events were captured by triggering on
deviations in the output.

The first test in the sequence was to look for destructive events
due to SEB. A failure due to burnout was indicated by a
permanent change in the part's supply current after the beam
was turned off. If the supply current reverted back to its
pre-radiation value after a power cycle, the event was then
deemed as latch-up. The ISL70444SEH did not have any latch-up
events; this can be attributed to the SOI construction of the
process and therefore it is latch-up immune.

No burnout was observed for the ISL70444SEH when using Au
ions at normal incidence. Testing was performed on 4 parts at a
TC of +125°C using the schematic shown in Figure 1. The
common voltage at which each part passed to was ±21VSUPPLY.
SN1 and SN4 both passed to ±23V, while SN3 passed to ±22V
and SN2 passed to ±21V. Each part was started at ±18V and
stepped up in incrementally until they failed. All test runs were
run in a gain of 10 to a fluence of 2x106/cm2 with an input of
100mV applied to the non-inverting input of the amplifiers. After
each run, the functionality of the op amp was verified by
monitoring the outputs of all amplifiers with an oscilloscope. IDD
and IEE were recorded pre and post exposure and then summed
up, a ±5% delta (to allow for measurement repeatability) would
indicate a failure. Table 1 shows the SEB results for the
ISL70444SEH for a supply voltage of ±21V.

channel of the quad amplifier was configured identically and
VREF was left to float. A 100Ω series resistor was used to shield
the amplifier from cable capacitance. A more detailed board

Single Event Transient (SET) Results
(±1% of VOUT) for VS = ±1.35V and ±200mV (±1% of VOUT) for
VS = ±15V. The volts per division on each captured trace was
1V/div for VS = ±1.35V and 5V/div for VS = ±15V. During
post-processing, transient durations are defined as any voltage
transient in excess of ±10mV from VOUT. The time spent ±10mV
away from VOUT is then summed up and presented in histograms
in Figures 3 and 4. Positive and negative voltage deviations were
recorded separately from each other.
TEST SETUP (GAIN OF 1)
Two devices were tested at two different supply voltages,
VS = ±1.35V and VS = ±15V. The non-inverting inputs for all
amplifiers were set to 1V for VS = ±1.35V and 2V for VS = ±15V.
The outputs were monitored from the control room with four
LeCroy Oscilloscopes. Summary of the scope settings is as
follows:

The results shown in Tables 2 and 3 are the cross sectional
results for the 2 devices that were tested in unity gain at LET = 28
and 60MeV•cm2/mg. It appears that in this case the higher
supply voltage of ±15V had a lower cross section.
• Scope 1 triggered on Channel A
• Scope 2 triggered on Channel B
• Scope 3 triggered on Channel C
• Scope 4 triggered on Channel D
SET events were recorded whenever the output deviated from a
trigger window during beam exposure. The window was ±100mV

SET Characteristics
Figures 3 through 8 are histograms that describe the
characteristics of transients caused by SETs. Figures 3 and 4
describe the duration of the SETs at VS = ±1.35V and VS = ±15V
respectively. Figures 5 and 6 describe the maximum positive
voltage deviation from VOUT during an SET at VS = ±1.35V and
VS = ±15V respectively. Figures 7 and 8 describe the maximum
negative voltage deviation from VOUT during an SET at
VS = ±1.35V and VS = ±15V respectively. For VS = ±1.35V,
recovery time from SETs were always within 2µs. For VS = ±15V,
recovery time was much faster (≤400ns).
For the composite pictures in Figures 9 through 12 the first 200
captures at each LET and power supply setting were plotted on
top of each other to show an envelope of how the ISL70444SEH
reacts during SETs for LET = 28 and 60MeV•cm2/mg.

TEST SETUP (GAIN OF 10)
CHANNEL CONNECTION ON ALL SCOPES (VS = ±15V)
There is a definite advantage for high speed op amps in
applications that use gains greater than 1 as they still provide
ample bandwidth comparatively while in a gained configuration.
As most applications tend to use high speed op amps with gains
higher than 1, a worst case analysis was studied at several more
SETs with ACL = 10. For this worst case analysis, SETs were
defined as a ±1V deviation at VS = ±15V and ±200mV for
VS = ±1.35V to showcase the ultra fast recovery time of the
ISL70444SEH under drastic changes (≤5µs in all cases). During
post-processing, transient durations are defined as any voltage
transient that crosses ±10mV from VOUT. The time spent ±10mV
away from VOUT is then summed up and presented in histograms
in Figures 24 and 27 for their respective test conditions. Positive
and negative voltage deviations were recorded separately from
each other illustrated in Figures 22, 23, 25 and 26.
• CH1 through CH4 = 5V/div (OUTA through OUTD)
TRIGGER CONNECTIONS
• Scope 1 triggered on Channel A
• Scope 2 triggered on Channel B
• Scope 3 triggered on Channel C
• Scope 4 triggered on Channel D
Unlike other Intersil radiation tolerant circuits, the ISL70444SEH
was not designed with Single Event Transient mitigation. The
best approach to characterize the SET response is to represent
the data on a LET threshold plot (shown in Figure 13).
As it can be seen, VS = ±15V has a lower SET cross section across
all tested LET levels compared to VS = ±1.35V. The data
represented in Figure 13 is shown in tabular form in Table 4.
