GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 32K x 8 Radiation Hardened Static RAM is a high
performance 32,768 word x 8-bit static random access
memory with industry-standard functionality. It is fabricated
with Honeywell’s radiation hardened technology, and is
designed for use in systems operating in harsh, transient
radiation environments. The RAM operates over the full
military temperature range and requires only a single 5 V
±
10% power supply. The RAM is available with either TTL or
CMOS compatible I/O. Power consumption is typically less
than 15 mW/MHz in operation, and less than 5 mW when
de-selected. The RAM read operation is fully asynchro-
nous, with an associated typical access time of 14 ns at 5V.
Honeywell’s enhanced SOI RICMOS
™
IV (Radiation Insen-
sitive CMOS) technology is radiation hardened through the
use of advanced and proprietary design, layout and pro-
cess hardening techniques. The RICMOS
™
IV process is a
5-volt, SIMOX CMOS technology with a 150 Å gate oxide
and a minimum drawn feature size of 0.75
µm
(0.6
µm
effective gate length—L
eff
). Additional features include
tungsten via plugs, Honeywell’s proprietary SHARP pla-
narization process, and a lightly doped drain (LDD) struc-
ture for improved short channel reliability. A 7 transistor
(7T) memory cell is used for superior single event upset
hardening, while three layer metal power bussing and the
low collection volume SIMOX substrate provide improved
dose rate hardening.

SIGNAL DEFINITIONS

NCS
Address input pins which select a particular eight-bit word within the memory array.
Bidirectional data pins which serve as data outputs during a read operation and as data inputs during a write
operation.
Negative chip select, when at a low level allows normal read or write operation. When at a high level NCS
forces the SRAM to a precharge condition, holds the data output drivers in a high impedance state and
disables all input buffers except CE. If this signal is not used it must be connected to VSS.
Negative write enable, when at a low level activates a write operation and holds the data output drivers in a
high impedance state. When at a high level NWE allows normal read operation.
Negative output enable, when at a high level holds the data output drivers in a high impedance state. When
at a low level, the data output driver state is defined by NCS, NWE and CE. If this signal is not used it must
be connected to VSS.
Chip enable, when at a high level allows normal operation. When at a low level CE forces the SRAM to a
precharge condition, holds the data output drivers in a high impedance state and disables all the input buffers
except the NCS input buffer. If this signal is not used it must be connected to VDD.

RADIATION CHARACTERISTICS
Total Ionizing Radiation Dose
The SRAM will meet all stated functional and electrical
specifications over the entire operating temperature range
after the specified total ionizing radiation dose. All electrical
and timing performance parameters will remain within
specifications after rebound at VDD = 5.5 V and T =125°C
extrapolated to ten years of operation. Total dose hardness
is assured by wafer level testing of process monitor transis-
tors and RAM product using 10 keV X-ray and Co60
radiation sources. Transistor gate threshold shift correla-
tions have been made between 10 keV X-rays applied at a
dose rate of 1x10
5
rad(SiO
2
)/min at T = 25°C and gamma
rays (Cobalt 60 source) to ensure that wafer level X-ray
testing is consistent with standard military radiation test
environments.
The SRAM will meet any functional or electrical specifica-
tion after exposure to a radiation pulse up to the transient
dose rate survivability specification, when applied under
recommended operating conditions. Note that the current
conducted during the pulse by the RAM inputs, outputs,
and power supply may significantly exceed the normal
operating levels. The application design must accommo-
date these effects.
Neutron Radiation
The SRAM will meet any functional or timing specification
after exposure to the specified neutron fluence under
recommended operating or storage conditions. This as-
sumes an equivalent neutron energy of 1 MeV.
Transient Pulse Ionizing Radiation
The SRAM is capable of writing, reading, and retaining
stored data during and after exposure to a transient
ionizing radiation pulse up to the transient dose rate upset
specification, when applied under recommended operat-
ing conditions. To ensure validity of all specified perfor-
mance parameters before, during, and after radiation
(timing degradation during transient pulse radiation (tim-
ing degradation during transient pulse radiation is
≤10%),
it is suggested that stiffening capacitance be placed on or
near the package VDD and VSS, with a maximum induc-
tance between the package (chip) and stiffening capaci-
tance of 0.7 nH per part. If there are no operate-through
or valid stored data requirements, typical circuit board
mounted de-coupling capacitors are recommended.
Soft Error Rate
The SRAM has an extremely low Soft Error Rate (SER) as
specified in the table below. This hardness level is defined
by the Adams 90% worst case cosmic ray environment.
The low SER is achieved by the use of a unique 7-transistor
memory cell and the oxide isolation of the SOI substrate.
Latchup
The SRAM will not latch up due to any of the above radiation
exposure conditions when applied under recommended
operating conditions. Fabrication with the SIMOX substrate
material provides oxide isolation between adjacent PMOS
and NMOS transistors and eliminates any potential SCR
latchup structures. Sufficient transistor body tie connec-
tions to the p- and n-channel substrates are made to ensure
no source/drain snapback occurs.
