| description | <p>The results of a destructive single-event effect susceptibility
radiation test of the PNI RM3100 magnetometer sensor, specifically the
MagI<span class="inline-formula"><sup>2</sup></span>C ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) on the sensor
board are presented. The sensor is a low-resource commercial off-the-shelf
(COTS) magneto-inductive magnetometer. The device was monitored for
destructive events and functional interruptions during exposure to a heavy
ion beam at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's 88<span class="inline-formula"><sup>′′</sup></span> Cyclotron. The
RM3100 did not experience any destructive single-event effects when
irradiated to a total fluence of 1.4 <span class="inline-formula">×</span> 10<span class="inline-formula"><sup>7</sup></span> cm<span class="inline-formula"><sup>−2</sup></span> at an effective
linear energy transfer (LET) of 76.7 MeV cm<span class="inline-formula"><sup>2</sup></span> mg<span class="inline-formula"><sup>−1</sup></span> while operated at
nominal voltage (3.3 V) and elevated temperature (85 <span class="inline-formula"><sup>∘</sup></span>C). When
these results are combined with previous total ionizing dose tests showing
no failures up to 150 kRad (Si), we conclude that the PNI RM3100 is extremely
radiation tolerant and can be used in a variety of space environments.</p> |
