Rad-hard MOSFETS qualified for commercial aerospace/defense space apps

June 8, 2021 By Redding Traiger Leave a Comment

Power supplies in space applications operate in environments that require enhanced radiation technology to withstand extreme particle interactions and solar and electromagnetic events. These events degrade space-based systems and disrupt operations. To meet this requirement, Microchip Technology Inc. announced the qualification of its M6 MRH25N12U3 radiation-hardened 250V, 0.21 Ohm Rds(on), metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) for commercial aerospace and defense space applications.

Microchip’s radiation-hardened M6 MRH25N12U3 MOSFET provides the primary switching element in power conversion circuits including point-of-load converters, DC-DC converters, motor drives, and controls, and general-purpose switching. The MOSFET withstands the harsh environments of space, extends the reliability of power circuitry, and meets all requirements of MIL-PRF19500/746 with enhanced performance. Microchip completed testing for Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) review and qualification, for the device’s sourcing in the U.S. military supply chain (expected JANSR2N7593U3 certification in June 2021).

The M6 MRH25N12U3 MOSFET is designed for future satellite system designs as well as serving as an alternate source in existing systems.

The device can withstand total ionizing dose (TID) up to 100 krad and 300 krad and single event effects (SEE) with linear energy transfer (LET) up to 87 MeV/mg/cm2. It provides 100-percent wafer lot radiation hardness assurance in validation tests.

The M6 MRH25N12U3 is part of Microchip’s broad portfolio of aerospace, defense, and space technology that includes field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), microprocessor integrated circuits (ICs), linear ICs, power devices, discrete and power modules that integrate both SiC and Si power solutions. Together with its microcontrollers (MCUs) and analog products, Microchip serves the needs of high-power system control, gate drive, and power stage – supporting developers worldwide with total system solutions.

CURRENT DIGITAL ISSUE

A frequency you can count on There are few constants in life, but what few there are might include death, taxes, and a U.S. grid frequency that doesn’t vary by more than ±0.5 Hz. However, the certainty of the grid frequency is coming into question, thanks to the rising percentage of renewable energy sources that…
