Pre-Irradiation
International Rectifier’s R5TM technology provides
high performance power MOSFETs for space
applications. These devices have been characterized
for Single Event Effects (SEE) with useful performance
up to an LET of 80 (MeV/(mg/cm2)). The combination
of low RDS(on) and low gate charge reduces the
power losses in switching applications such as DC
to DC converters and motor control. These devices
retain all of the well established advantages of
MOSFETs such as voltage control, fast switching,
ease of paralleling and temperature stability of
electrical parameters.

Table 1. Electrical Characteristics @ Tj = 25°C, Post Total Dose Irradiation ÄÅ
International Rectifier Radiation Hardened MOSFETs are tested to verify their radiation hardness capability.
The hardness assurance program at International Rectifier is comprised of two radiation environments.
Every manufacturing lot is tested for total ionizing dose (per notes 5 and 6) using the TO-3 package. Both
pre- and post-irradiation performance are tested and specified using the same drive circuitry and test
conditions in order to provide a direct comparison.
