DESCRIPTION:
Maxwell Technologies’ 79C0408 multi-chip module (MCM)
memory features a greater than 100 krad (Si) total dose tolerance, dependent upon orbit. Using Maxwell Technologies’ patented radiation-hardened R
AD-PAK® MCM packaging
technology, the 79C0408 is the first radiation-hardened 4
Megabit MCM EEPROM for space applications. The 79C0408
uses four 1 Megabit high-speed CMOS die to yield a 4 Megabit product. The 79C0408 is capable of in-system electrical
Byte and Page programmability. It has a 128 bytes Page Programming function to make its erase and write operations
faster. It also features Data Polling and a Ready/Busy signal to
indicate the completion of erase and programming operations.
In the 79C0408, hardware data protection is provided with the
RES
pin, in addition to noise protection on the WE signal and
write inhibit on power on and off. Software data protection is
implemented using the JEDEC optional standard algorithm.
Maxwell Technologies' patented R
AD-PAK® packaging technol-
ogy incorporates radiation shielding in the microcircuit package. It eliminates the need for box shielding while providing
the required radiation shielding for a lifetime in orbit or space
mission. In a GEO orbit, R
AD-PAK provides greater than 100
krad (Si) radiation dose tolerance. This product is available
with screening up to Class K.
