Description
A radiation-hardened-by-design (RHBD) digital library, developed for the Austria Microsystems (AMS) 0.35um CMOS technology has been applied in a mixed-signal ASIC that operates as a multi-channel data acquisition system for magnetometers using anisotropic magneto-resistances (AMR). The circuit has been tested in the Heavy-Ion facilities of the Université Catholique de Louvain-la-Neuve (HIF-UCL). The experimental results demonstrate a LET threshold of 22.5 MeV·cm2/mg and absence of latchup up to 81.8 MeV·cm2/mg. SEE performance of the A/D converters has also been measured. This radiation-tolerant performance is obtained at the cost of a penalty in area and power with respect to the unhardened technology.
