Original question:

RF37S114: Gamma sterilization compatibility

RF37S114: Gamma Radiation

Part Number: RF37S114

Hi,

Good Day.

I understand the RF37S114 uses EEPROM memory technology and is not able to withstand gamma radiation without losing its contents.

But gamma radiation should not stop the chip from communicating.

What I would like to know is if there is something in the chip which would STOP functioning due to gamma radiation.

For example, a damaged antenna or damaged chip?

Please advise. Thank you very much.

Best Regards,

Ray Vincent
