LM119QML: Radiation - Heavy Ion Test - require over-undervoltage protection due to SET?

Part Number: LM119QML
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM119

I found no information on SET-shape (topic: Radiation - heavy ion test) in any document (or elsewhere in literature) answering the following question:

- We use the LM119 with UB=+/-5V. The outputs are connected via pull-up resistor (2K43) to 3.3V. The output is directly connected to a FPGA without over-/undervoltage protection measure. Is it possible for the LM119 to output a SET which exceeds the maxRatings of the FPGA digital input (-0.5V...+4.1V)? If so, is there addiational information on worst-case SET-shape available?

  • Hello Christoph,

    TI has not performed SET testing on the LM119.

    Others have done so.   If you search on the following title, you should be able to find an IEEE paper where max transients amplitudes were explored using laser testing:
