Custom Solutions
DDC 79LV0832 multi-chip module (MCM) memory features a greater than 100 krad (Si) total dose tolerance, dependent upon orbit. Using DDC patented radiation-hardened RADPAK MCM packaging technology, the 79LV0832 is the first radiation-hardened 8 megabit MCM EEPROM for space application. The 79LV0832 uses eight 1 Megabit high speed CMOS die to yield an 8 megabit product. The 79LV0832 is capable of in-system electrical dword and page programmability. It has a 128 x 32 byte page programming function to make its erase and write operations faster. It also features Data Polling and a Ready Busy signal to indicate the completion of erase and programming operations. In the 79LV0832, hardware data protection is provided with the RES pin. Software data protection is implemented using the JEDEC standard algorithm.
DDC patented RAD-PAK packaging technology incorporates radiation shielding in the microcircuit package. It eliminates the need for box shielding while providing the required radiation shielding for a lifetime in orbit or space mission. In a GEO orbit, RAD-PAK provides greater than 100 krad (Si) radiation dose tolerance. This product is available with screening up to self defined DDC Microelectronics Space Grade.
