Ionizing radiation detector
Maxwell Technologies
Maxwell Technologies Microelectronics' Nuclear Event Detectors (NEDs) provide a simple, small, reliable, and convenient method for:
* detecting ionizing radiation pulses
* controlling hardware to prevent upset and permanent damage
* initiating both hardware and software recovery from the event
* providing all of these benefits, and more, in a package outline of less than 0.5" x 0.8"
The proper incorporation of this product into a circuit or system design provides a cost-effective means to achieve the required levels of nuclear hardness for the prompt ionizing radiation environment.
Maxwell Technologies' NEDs provide four primary functions:
* prompt ionizing radiation detector,
* a monostable pulse generator,
* a bi-stable logic latch, and
* built-in test (BIT).
Four models of NEDs are available to suit a variety of different needs and levels of screening requirements.
