512k x 8 STATIC RAM
The 512K x 8 Radiation Hardened Static RAM is a high
performance 524,288 word x 8-bit static random access
memory with optional industry-standard functionality. It is
fabricated with Honeywell’s radiation hardened Silicon On
Insulator (SOI) technology, and is designed for use in low
voltage systems operating in radiation environments. The
RAM operates over the full military temperature range and
requires only a single 3.3 V ± 0.3V power supply. Power
consumption is typically <30 mW @ 1MHz in write mode,
<14 mW @ 1MHz in read mode, and is less than 5 mW
when in standby mode.
Honeywell’s enhanced RICMOS™(Radiation Insensitive
CMOS) SOI V technology is radiation hardened through the
use of advanced and proprietary design, layout and process
hardening techniques.
The RICMOS™ V low power process is a SOI CMOS
technology with an 80 Å gate oxide and a minimum
drawn feature size of 0.35
µm.
Additional features
include tungsten via and contact plugs, Honeywell’s
proprietary SHARP planarization process and a lightly
doped drain (LDD) structure for improved short
channel reliability. A seven transistor (7T) memory cell
is used for superior single event upset hardening,
while three layer metal power busing and the low
collection volume SOI substrate provide improved
dose rate hardening.

SIGNAL DEFINITIONS
A: 0-18
DQ: 0-7
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. 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 NSL. This
signal is asynchronous.
Not sleep, when at a high level allows normal operation. When at a low level NSL 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 and NOE input buffers. If this signal is not used it must be connected
to VDD. This signal is asynchronous. The HX6408 may be ordered without the sleep mode option
and pin 36 is then a NC.

RADIATION
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. Total dose hardness is
assured by wafer level testing of process monitor
transistors and RAM product using 10 KeV X-ray.
Transistor gate threshold shift correlations 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.
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 specified transient
dose rate upset specification, when applied under
recommended operating conditions. It is recommended
to provide external power supply decoupling capacitors
to maintain VDD voltage levels during transient events.
The SRAM will meet any functional or electrical
specification 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 accommodate 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 assumes an equivalent neutron energy
of 1 MeV.
Soft Error Rate
The SRAM is capable of meeting the specified Soft
Error Rate (SER), under recommended operating
conditions.
This hardness level is defined by the Adams 90%
worst case cosmic ray environment for
geosynchronous orbits.
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 SOI substrate material provides oxide isolation
between adjacent PMOS and NMOS transistors and
eliminates any potential SCR latchup structures.
Sufficient transistor body tie connections to the p- and
n-channel substrates are made to ensure no
source/drain snapback occurs.
