New member of radiation-hardened clock family for space applications

Aeroflex Colorado Springs in Colorado Springs, Colo., is offering an addition to the RadHard Clock Family-the UT54ALVC2525 RadHard clock driver for satellite applications. The Aeroflex UT54ALVC2525 RadHard clock driver is a low-voltage, minimum-skew, one-to-eight clock driver that distributes a single clock to eight, high-drive, outputs with low skew across all eight outputs. The UT54ALVC2525 withstands total ionizing dose irradiation from 100 to 300 kilorads and is guaranteed to operate from 2V to 3.6 volts. A version is available that can withstand as much radiation as 1 megarad. The UT54ALVC2525 is available through a Standard Microcircuit Drawing (SMD) with QML Q and V qualification and is offered in a 14-lead ceramic flatpack. Future RadHard Clock solutions include faster products with extended I/O compatibility options like LVDS, and more flexible devices offering a wider range of multiplication and division settings.
