International Rectifier’s RAD-HardTM HEXFET
MOSFET technology provides high performance
power MOSFETs for space applications. This technology has over a decade of proven performance
and reliability in satellite applications. These devices have been characterized for both Total Dose
and Single Event Effects (SEE). The combination
of low R
power losses in switching applications such as DC
to DC converters and motor control. These devices retain all of the well established advantages
of MOSFETs such as voltage control, fast switching, ease of paralleling and temperature stability
of electrical parameters.

Radiation Characteristics
IRHNA9260, JANSR2N7426U
International Rectifier Radiation Hardened MOSFETs are tested to verify their radiation hardness capability .
The hardness assurance program at International Rectifier is comprised of two radiation environments.
Every manufacturing lot is tested for total ionizing dose (per notes 5 and 6) using the TO-3 package. Both
pre- and post-irradiation performance are tested and specified using the same drive circuitry and test
conditions in order to provide a direct comparison.
