Overview

The RHFXH162244K1 is a radiation-hardened 16-bit non-inverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, specifically designed for high-reliability aerospace and defense applications. It operates over a 1.8V to 3.6V supply range and features built-in 26 Ohm series resistors at the outputs to reduce line noise without external components. This QML-V qualified device is engineered to withstand extreme radiation environments, including total ionizing dose and single-event effects.

Why Choose This Part

This device offers exceptional radiation performance with a Total Ionizing Dose (TID) rating of 300 krad(Si) and immunity to SEL, SEU, and SET up to 110 MeV.cm2/mg. The integrated 26 Ohm series resistance simplifies PCB layout by providing built-in termination, while the cold-spare function and bus-hold features enhance system-level reliability in redundant architectures.

Applications

Satellite Data Handling
Used as a high-speed buffer for data buses in spacecraft on-board computers where radiation tolerance is mandatory.
Launch Vehicle Avionics
Provides signal conditioning and isolation for telemetry and control systems in orbital launch vehicles.
Deep Space Exploration
Reliable logic level shifting and buffering for scientific instrumentation exposed to high cosmic ray environments.
Military Grade Signal Routing
High-reliability buffering in defense systems requiring wide operating temperatures from -55C to 125C.

Getting Started

Engineers should consult the SMD 5962F05210 specification and the STMicroelectronics Rad-Hard databook for detailed timing and radiation performance curves. Prototyping is typically performed using ceramic 48-pin flat pack sockets or specialized evaluation boards designed for high-speed signal integrity and thermal management. Integration requires strict adherence to MIL-STD-883 assembly and screening procedures to maintain QML-V compliance.
