Introduction and Executive Summary This interim report discusses the results of low and high dose rate total dose testing of four versions of the ISL71090SEH precision voltage reference. These tests were conducted to provide an assessment of the total dose hardness of the parts and their dose rate and bias sensitivity. Samples (see Table 1) were irradiated under bias and with all pins grounded at low dose rate and at high dose rate. The ISL71090SEH variants are acceptance tested on a wafer by wafer basis to 100 krad(Si) at high dose rate (50 – 300 rad(Si)/s) and to 50 krad(Si) at low dose rate (0.01 rad(Si)/s), insuring hardness to the specified level for both dose rates. The variants of the ISL71090SEH tested include the ISL71090SEHVF12 (1.25 V nominal output), the ISL71090SEHVF25 (2.5V nominal output voltage), the ISL71090SEHVF50 (5.0V nominal output voltage) and the ISL71090SEHVF75 (7.5V nominal output voltage). These variants use the same base die, with the output voltage selected by interconnect mask changes. All four variants were tested. The ISL71090SEH variants showed good performance over low and high dose rate irradiation at this intermediate point in the characterisation test. All samples passed the post-irradiation specifications at all downpoints. We observed some dose rate sensitivity and bias sensitivity in the critical output voltage parameter, see the Discussion section. 2. Reference Documents MIL-STD-883 test method 1019. ISL71090SEH data sheet. Standard Microcircuit Drawing (SMD) 5962 – 13211 3: Part Description The ISL71090SEH is a low noise precision voltage reference with a wide input voltage range from 4.0V to 30V, with a number of output voltage options selected through interconnect metal mask changes. The ISL71090SEH uses the Intersil PR40 bonded-wafer process, which uses dielectric isolation for important electrical and SEE performance improvements. The part achieves sub 2μV peak to peak 0.1Hz noise with an initial voltage accuracy of 0.05%. The ISL71090SEH offers a 2.5V output voltage option with 7ppm/°C temperature coefficient and also provides excellent line and load regulation. The device is offered in an 8-lead hermetic flatpack. The ISL71090SEH is ideal for high-end instrumentation, data acquisition systems and strain and pressure sensing for space applications. Key features and specifications follow.

Low dose rate testing was performed at 0.01 rad(Si)/s using the Intersil Palm Bay N40 panoramic low dose rate 60 Co irradiator. 4.2 Test Fixturing Figure 1 shows the configuration used for biased irradiation. The grounded irradiations were performed in the same fixture type with all pins hardwired to ground. 7109X_HDR_LDR_sc h.pdf Figure 1: Biased irradiation configuration for the ISL71090SEH. 4.3 Characterization equipment and procedures All electrical testing was performed outside the irradiator using the production automated test equipment (ATE) with datalogging at each downpoint. All downpoint electrical testing was performed at room temperature. One control unit was used to verify repeatability. 4.4 Experimental matrix The experimental matrix is shown in Table 1. Samples of four variants of the ISL71090SEH were drawn from preproduction PR40 lot WWH4AE and were packaged in hermetic 8-pin ceramic flatpacks (package code KCJ). Samples were processed through the standard burnin cycle before irradiation, as required by MILSTD-883, and were screened to the ATE limits at room temperature prior to the test. 4.5 Downpoints Downpoints to date for the low dose rate tests were zero, 25 and 50 krad(Si); the tests will be continued to the 100 and 150krad(Si) downpoints for all four variants. The high dose rate tests are complete and the downpoints were zero, 30, 50, 100 and 150 krad(Si). 5: Results 5.1 Attributes data Table 1 shows the attributes data to date for the test. No rejects to the post-irradiation SMD limits were encountered at any downpoint. 3 Table 1: ISL71090SEH total dose test attributes data as of August 2013.

Figs. 2 through 6 report the response of the ISL71090SEHVF12 samples; Figs. 7 through 12 report the results for the ISL71090SEHVF25 samples; Fig. 13 reports the results for the ISL71090SEHVF50 (output voltage over high dose rate only); and Fig. 14 reports the results for the ISL71090SEHVF75 (output voltage over high dose rate only). The plots report the response of all four variants to total dose irradiation at low dose rate for the biased (per Figure 1) and unbiased (all pins grounded) cases and at high dose rate for the biased (Fig.1) and unbiased cases, with the low dose rate data omitted for the ISL71090SEHVF50 and ISL71090SEHVF75. A final report will be issued upon completion of the low dose rate irradiations. We chose to plot the median for these parameters due to the relatively small sample sizes, and show the minimum and maximum values for each datapoint as well. Section 6 will provide individual discussion of the figures. 1.2545 LDR Bias Median LDR Bias Max LDR GND Min HDR Bias Median HDR Bias Max HDR GND Min Spec limit Output voltage, V 1.2535 LDR Bias Min LDR GND Median LDR GND Max HDR Bias Min HDR GND Median HDR GND Max Spec limit 1.2525 1.2515 1.2505 1.2495 0 50 100 150 Total dose, krad(Si) Figure 2: ISL71090SEHVF12 output voltage as a function of total dose irradiation at low and high dose rate for the biased (per Figure 1) and unbiased (all pins grounded) cases.

Parts were irradiated under bias and with all pins grounded at low and high dose rate in accordance with the MIL-STD-883 Test Method 1019.7 dose rate sensitivity protocol, at 0.01 rad(Si)/s and 67.87 rad(Si)/s respectively. At the time of this interim report the low dose rate tests have been run to 50krad(Si) and the high dose rate tests are complete through 150 krad(Si). All parameters remained within the SMD and data sheet post-irradiation limits at all downpoints. This is a simple part, at least functionally, and we have summarized the results in a table of attributes data (5.1, table 1) followed by 13 curves of interest (5.2, figures 2 through 14). We will discuss each of the figures separately. Fig. 2 shows the output voltage for the 1.25V variant. The plot shows the nominal output voltage of the reference. The high dose rate curve shows some 0.5 mV change at 150krad(Si), while the low dose rate curve shows 2 mV change at 50krad(Si), which is the low dose rate specification for the part. Biased irradiation is worst case for the low dose rate test, while there is no difference between biased and unbiased irradiation for the high dose rate test. Biased irradiation as a worst-case condition is not expected (at least in conventional wisdom) in bipolar parts, but this behaviour was not unexpected as it has been observed on other PR40 parts. The parameter remained well within the SMD post-irradiation limits. The data does show a substantial difference between the high and low dose rate responses of the part, and the 1.25V variant of the ISL71090SEH should be considered moderately low dose rate sensitive. The part is acceptance tested on a wafer by wafer basis at high and low dose rate on a production basis, providing additional radiation hardness assurance. Fig. 3 shows the power supply current for the 1.25V variant. The parameter was stable at all downpoints and showed no dose rate sensitivity or bias sensitivity. The parameter remained well within the SMD post-irradiation limits. Fig. 4 shows the line regulation for the 1.25V variant. The parameter was very stable at all downpoints and showed no dose rate sensitivity or bias sensitivity. The parameter remained well within the SMD postirradiation limits. Fig. 5 shows the load regulation for the 1.25V variant for the output sourcing 20 mA. The high dose rate data was very stable at all downpoints and showed no dose rate sensitivity or bias sensitivity. The low dose rate data was stable at the 25 krad(Si) downpoint but then showed an abrupt change while still remaining well within the specification limits. The cause of this change is not known, but similar behaviour was observed for the 2.5V variant (Figs. 10 and 11). The parameter remained well within the SMD postirradiation limits. Fig. 6 shows the dropout voltage for the 1.25V variant. The parameter was very stable at all downpoints and showed no dose rate sensitivity or bias sensitivity. The parameter remained well within the SMD postirradiation limits. Fig. 7 shows the output voltage for the 2.5V variant. The plot shows the nominal output voltage of the reference. The high dose rate curve shows some 1mV change at 150krad(Si), while the low dose rate curve shows 3 mV change (average) at 50krad(Si), which is the low dose rate specification for the part. As in the 1.25V variant, biased irradiation is again worst case for the low dose rate test, while there is no difference between biased and unbiased irradiation for the high dose rate test. This is an expected result as the base die is the same for all four variants. The parameter remained well within the SMD post-irradiation limits. Also as in the 1.25V variant, the data does show a substantial difference between the high and low dose rate responses of the part, and the 2.5V variant of the ISL71090SEH should be considered moderately low dose rate sensitive. The part is acceptance tested on a wafer by wafer basis at high and low dose rate on a production basis, providing additional radiation hardness assurance. Fig. 8 shows the power supply current for the 2.5V variant. The parameter was very stable at all downpoints and showed no dose rate sensitivity or bias sensitivity. The parameter remained well within the SMD post-irradiation limits. 12 Fig. 9 shows the line regulation for the 2.5V variant. The parameter was very stable at all downpoints and showed no dose rate sensitivity or bias sensitivity. The parameter remained well within the SMD postirradiation limits. Figs. 10 and 11 show the load regulation for the 2.5V variant for two cases: the output sourcing 20 mA and the output sinking 10mA, respectively. The high dose rate data was very stable at all downpoints and showed no dose rate sensitivity or bias sensitivity. The low dose rate data for both conditions was stable at the 25 krad(Si) downpoint but then showed an abrupt change while still remaining well within the specification limits. The cause of this change is not known, but similar behaviour was observed for the 1.25V variant (Fig. 5). The parameter remained well within the SMD post-irradiation limits. Fig. 12 shows the dropout voltage for the 2.5V variant. The parameter was very stable at all downpoints and showed no dose rate sensitivity or bias sensitivity. The parameter remained well within the SMD postirradiation limits. The next two figures show the results of high dose rate testing only and plot the output voltage only for the 5.0 and 7.5V variants. The other parameters for these two variants showed equal stability to that shown by the 1.25 and 2.5V variants, and the low dose rate results apply due to the use of the same base die. Complete low and high dose rate results will be presented in the final report. Fig. 13 shows the output voltage for the 5.0V variant, in this case for high dose rate only. The plot shows the nominal output voltage of the reference. The high dose rate curve shows some 4mV change at 150krad(Si). As in the 1.25V and 2.5V variants high dose rate results there was no difference between biased and unbiased irradiation. As this variant uses the same base die as the 1.25 and 2.5V variants, this part should be considered moderately low dose rate sensitive. The part is acceptance tested on a wafer by wafer basis at high and low dose rate on a production basis, providing additional radiation hardness assurance. Finally Fig. 14 shows the output voltage for the 7.5V variant, again for high dose rate only. The plot shows the nominal output voltage of the reference. The high dose rate curve shows some 5mV change at 150krad(Si). As in the 1.25V and 2.5V variants high dose rate results there was no difference between biased and unbiased irradiation. As this variant uses the same base die as the 1.25 and 2.5V variants, this part should be considered moderately low dose rate sensitive. The part is acceptance tested on a wafer by wafer basis at high and low dose rate on a production basis, providing additional radiation hardness assurance. All four variants of the ISL71090SEH showed good performance over low and high dose rate irradiation at this intermediate point in the characterisation test. All samples passed the post-irradiation at all downpoints. The part is acceptance tested on a wafer by wafer basis to 100 krad(Si) at high dose rate (50 – 300 rad(Si)/s) and to 50 krad(Si) at low dose rate (0.01 rad(Si)/s), insuring hardness to the SMD-specified level for both dose rates. The output voltage data does show a substantial difference between the high and low dose rate responses of the part, and the ISL71090SEH should be considered moderately low dose rate sensitive. This change in the output voltage is believed to be caused by radiation-induced change in the bandgap voltage, which provides the basic reference for the part. The output voltage also showed biased irradiation to be worst case, which represents an interesting change from conventional radiation testing wisdom but has been seen before for this process. No measurable differences in the total dose response were noted between biased and grounded irradiation for the other parameters. This is an interim report, and a final version is expected to be released following the 150 krad(Si) low dose rate testing. This is expected to occur in Quarter 2 of 2014. 13 7: Appendices 7.1: Reported parameters and their post-irradiation limits: Fig. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Parameter Output voltage, 1.25V variant Power supply current, 1.25V variant Line regulation, 1.25V variant Load regulation, sourcing, 1.25V variant Dropout voltage, 1.25V variant Output voltage, 2.5V variant Power supply current, 2.5V variant Line regulation, 2.5V variant Load regulation, sourcing, 2.5V variant Load regulation, sinking, 2.5V variant Dropout voltage, 2.5V variant Output voltage, 5.0V variant Output voltage, 7.5V variant Limit, low 1.250122 2.49625 4.997493 7.48875 Limit, high 1.253878 1.28 18.0 35.0 2.25 2.50375 1.28 18.0 35.0 70.0 1.7 5.012508 7.51125 8: Document revision history Revision 0 Date 15 August 2013 Pages All Comments Original issue 14 Units V mA ppm/V ppm/mA V V mA ppm/V ppm/mA ppm/mA V V V Notes + 20.0 mA + 20.0 mA - 10.0 mA
