GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 32K x 8 Radiation Hardened ROM is a high perform-
ance 32,768 word x 8-bit read only memory with industry-
standard functionality. It is fabricated with Honeywell’s
radiation hardened technology, and is designed for use in
systems operating in radiation environments. The ROM
operates over the full military temperature range and re-
quires only a single 5 V
±
10% power supply. The ROM 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 ROM operation
is fully asynchronous, with an associated typical access
time of 14 ns.
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.

NCS
Address input pins which select a particular eight-bit word within the memory array.
Data Output Pins.
Negative chip select, when at a low level allows normal read operation. When at a high level NCS forces the
ROM 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 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 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 ROM 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 ROM 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 ROM 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 ROM will meet any functional or electrical specifica-
tion after exposure to a radiation pulse of
≤50
ns duration
up to 1x10
11
rad(Si)/s, when applied under recommended
operating conditions.
Neutron Radiation
The ROM will meet any functional or timing specification
after a total neutron fluence of up to 1x10
14
cm
-2
applied
under recommended operating or storage conditions. This
assumes an equivalent neutron energy of 1 MeV.
Single Event Phenomena
Transient Pulse Ionizing Radiation
The ROM is capable of reading and retaining stored data
during and after exposure to a transient ionizing radiation
pulse of
≤1 µs
duration up to 1x10
9
rad(Si)/s, when applied
under recommended operating conditions. To ensure va-
lidity of all specified performance parameters before, dur-
ing, and after radiation (timing degradation during tran-
sient pulse radiation (timing 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 inductance between the package
(chip) and stiffening capacitance of 0.7 nH per part. If
there are no operate-through requirements, typical circuit
board mounted de-coupling capacitors are recommended.
All storage elements within the ROM are immune to single
event upsets. No access time or other performance deg-
radation will occur for LET 190 MeV/cm/mg
2
.
Latchup
The ROM will not latch up due to any of the above radiation
exposure conditions when applied under recommended
operating conditions. Fabrication with the SIMOX sub-
strate material provides oxide isolation between adjacent
PMOS and NMOS transistors and eliminates any potential
SCR latchup structures. Sufficient transistor body tie con-
nections to the p- and n-channel substrates are made to
ensure no source/drain snapback occurs.
