Overview

Infineon's rad hard PowerMOS power transistors are based on the company’s unique CoolMOS™ superjunction technology. ESA-qualified, the PowerMOS rad hard N-channel MOSFETs range from 60 V to 650 V. The award-winning 650 V PowerMOS is the highest voltage QPL-qualified rad hard MOSFET on the market today. Made in Europe, these rad hard power MOSFETs are non-export controlled. All rad hard PowerMOS products are also available as qualified bare die.

Rad hard N-channel MOSFET applications

Infineon's rad hard N-channel MOSFETs are engineered for mission-critical space power applications with an operating life beyond 15 years such as:

  • Point-of-load (PoL) converters for FPGA, ASIC, and DSP core rails
  • Synchronous rectification
  • Active OR-ing circuits
  • Power distribution circuits
  • Load switching
  • Isolated DC-DC converters
  • Motor drives
  • Electric propulsion
  • Thermal management
ESA quality conformance testing of Infineon-branded rad hard FETs

HiRel products, unlike standard commercial products, must be submitted to various levels of quality conformance testing to ensure that the products are capable of performing to specifications in the often-harsh environments of military and space applications. 

In Europe, the European Space Agency (ESA) is the controlling agency and has issued specifications that govern the quality conformance testing sequence performed on discrete semiconductor components, hermetically sealed and die, namely ESCC-5000.

Infineon HiRel hermetic products are available as (1) commercial hermetic, designated (P) with the same fit, form, and function as the flight parts and without radiation hardness or screening per Chart F3 in ESCC generic specification No. 5000, or (2) ESCC-5000 space-qualified for flight use. Such parts are denoted as (ES). Infineon-branded rad hard MOSFETs are also available as qualified bare die.

Radiation hardness assurance of Infineon rad hard MOSFETs

Infineon’s ESA-qualified rad hard MOSFETs are tested to verify their radiation hardness capability with an assurance program based on the requirements outlined in ESCC-5000. Every manufacturing wafer-diffusion lot is tested for total dose steady-state irradiation according to the ESCC basic specification No. 22900. These export regulation unclassified rad hard FETs have also been characterized in heavy ion environments for single- event effect (SEE) according to the ESCC basic specification No. 25100.
