GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 128K x 8 Radiation Hardened Static RAM is a high
performance 131,072 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 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. The RAM is compatible with JEDEC standard
low voltage CMOS I/O. Power consumption is typically less
than 9 mW/MHz in operation, and less than 2 mW when de-
selected. The RAM read operation is fully asynchronous, with
an associated typical access time of 30 ns at 3.3 V.
Honeywell’s enhanced SOI RICMOS™ IV (Radiation Insensi-
tive CMOS) technology is radiation hardened through the use
of advanced and proprietary design, layout and process
hardening techniques.The RICMOS™ IV low power process is
a SIMOX CMOS technology with a 150 Å gate oxide and a
minimum drawn feature size of 0.7
µm
(0.55
µm
effective gate
length—L
eff
). Additional features include tungsten via plugs,
Honeywell’s proprietary SHARP planarization process and a
lightly doped drain (LDD) structure 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 electri-
cal and timing performance parameters will remain within
specifications after rebound at VDD = 3.6 V and T =125°C
extrapolated to ten years of operation. Total dose hard-
ness is assured by wafer level testing of process monitor
transistors 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 specified transient
dose rate upset specification, when applied under rec-
ommended operating conditions. To ensure validity of all
specified performance parameters before, during, and
after radiation (timing degradation during transient pulse
radiation (timing degradation during transient pulse ra-
diation is
≤10%),
it is suggested that stiffening capaci-
tance be placed on or near the package VDD and VSS,
with a maximum inductance between the package (chip)
and stiffening capacitance 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 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 recom-
mended operating conditions. Fabrication with the
SIMOX substrate material provides oxide isolation be-
tween adjacent PMOS and NMOS transistors and elimi-
nates 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.
