PLANO, Texas – Apogee Semiconductor in Plano, Texas, is introducing the AP54RHC RadHard logic family for space applications that required radiation-hardened integrated circuits, like small satellites.
The AP54RHC is based on the Apogee Transistor-Adjusted-Layout for Radiation (TalRad) design methodology that improves the radiation performance of commercial-process technologies to enable rapid creation of radiation-hardened designs quickly.
The AP54RHC integrated circuits are built with cold-sparing capabilities and triple redundancy for reliability and area savings. The AP54RHC family offers total ionizing dose (TID) resilience of 30 kilorads, and single-event latchup hardening to with 80 MeV-cm2/mg. The device is encapsulated in a 14-pin plastic thin-shrink small outline package (TSSOP).

The AP54RHC family includes functions such as level-translators, majority voters, transceivers, and logic gates. Evaluation units are available now and flight units will be available this summer.
"Our products and services are targeted towards enabling small satellites and large constellations that require high performance, small form factors, and radiation resilience at a lower cost," says Apogee CEO Anton Quiroz.
