Differences between Military Grade and Space Grade High Speed ADCs.

Peter Gatchell
Intellectual 260 points

Might there be a tech note or white paper which explains in detail the differences between Military Grade and Space Grade ADCs? The obvious ones are temperature range, packaging, hermeticity/non-hermeticity. I would think the screening process is different, and possibly the CMOS process technology. Thanks.

    TI produces military and space grade products per MIL-PRF-38535. True "Military Grade" products are in hermetic packages (either ceramic or metal cans) and are rated to -55C to +125C.
    Space grade products do get more unit and lot screening and qualification steps.
    More details can be found at ti.com/hirel, ti.com/space and ti.com/military
    Many of our space grade products are offered with a radiation qualification. More details can be found at ti.com/radiation
    Military products can use a different die and are typically not radiation tolerant or tested.
    We also offer "EP" products. These are products in plastic packages that have extra screening and controls for some military applications.
    More details are available at ti.com/hirel
