Related parts:

• RADFETs. MOSFET transistor designed for radiation detection. The Dosimeter Readout can be used with most RADFETs.
• PnP Dosimeter. Plug-and-Play dosimeter based on the Dosimeter Readout and Air Force protocols and form factors. Used in PnP satellites to radically shorten satellite assembly times.

Output signal as a function of dose.

Key features:

• Two operating modes - low and high sensitivity. In low sensitivity mode, chip can be un-powered and still accumulate dose.
• All readout circuitry (RADFET drive current, buffer amplifier, gate bias) is on the chip. Monolithic design improves signal to noise ratio and reduces part count.
• Output signal range and offset can be scaled via external resistors.
• Built-in temperature monitor.
• Available as play-and-play instrument that meets the AFRL Space Plug-and-Play Avionics (SPA) standards.
• Rad hard.

The Dosimeter Readout is offered in a 14-pin ceramic package. Size is .225"x.225"x.06".

Benefits:

• Extremely compact. Makes it easy to integrate a dosimeter with satellite payload or electronics.

Status: The Dosimeter Readout has been fabricated and tested electrically and with radiation. Additional tests are planned in late 2009 and early 2010.

Available for purchase:
