  • Evaluation of Reliability and Data Retention of an Irradiated Nonvolatile Memory

    • Evaluation of Reliability and Data Retention of an Irradiated Nonvolatile Memory Presented at RADECS 2005 by Maxwell Technologies. This presentation discusses the reliability of EEPROMs using large sampling of TID, data retention and life test data.

  • Space Radiation Electronics Overview and Industry Trends

  • The webcast features:
      • • Ken LaBel, Head of the Radiation Effects & Analysis Group at NASA/GSFC,
      • • Larry Longden, Director of Technology and Marketing for Maxwell Technologies
      • • Dan King, President of King Space Research

    • who discussed the challenges and trends of the Radiation Hardened Electronics industry. This distinguished panel of experts discussed the Rad Hard market from a scientific, application, design and trending perspective. The session was live and was followed by a Q&A session.
    • This event, co-sponsored by Maxwell Technologies and AstroExpo, is the first in a series of Webinars designed to help educate the Space Industry about various technical aspects through the use of free online seminars.

  • Space Processor Radiation Mitigation and Validation Techniques for an 1800 MIPS Processor Board

    • Presented by Maxwell Technologies in association with Jet Propulsion Laboratory / California Institute of Technology at RADECS 2003, this presentation compares the advances in both commercial and Rad-Hard processors, examines the SCS750 design strategy, development plan, and advanced radiationmitigation techniques, summarizes heavy ion test results and provides a comparative analysis of the single event upset performance of both the SCS750 and the RAD6000.

  • High Performance, Fault Tolerant Computing in Space

    • Presented by Robert Hillman and Chad Thibodeau at HPEC 2003, this presentation examines the benefits offered by the industry leading SCS750 Super Computer for Space.

  • SPWG 2003

    • Presented by Chad Thibodeau, Product Manager for Microelectronics, at the 2003 Space Parts Working Group conference is an update to Maxwell's current new product developments and latest radiation mitigation technologies including new packaging designs.

  • Super Computer for Space (SCS750)
    • Presented at ESCCON 2002, this presentation covers the design and development of Maxwell's new space-qualified SCS750 Single Board Computer for Space.

  • COTS-Based Radiation Tolerant Single Board Computer for Space Application
    • Presented by S. Stewart, R. Hillman, D. Krawzsenek and D. Strobel at GOMAC 2000, this presentation covers the design and development of a high performance COTS-based radiation tolerant computer family. COTS approaches were selected for both hardware andsoftware. Through a combination of parts testing, selection, packaging, and systems design, all requirements have been met. Thiswas done without part or process development. Speed, reliability, total ionizing dose and single event performance are attractive.

  • Nuclear Event Detectors (NED) Product Line
    • This presentation covers the Maxwell Technologies Microelectronic Nuclear Event Detector product line.

  • Nuclear Circumvention
    • This presentation examines the benefits of nuclear circumvention and how Maxwell Technologies' Nuclear Event Detector can play a vital role.

  • Nuclear Weapons vs Natural Space Radiation
    • This presentation contrasts the radiation produced by nuclear weapons and natural space radiation and shows how Maxwell Technologies' Nuclear Event Detector can detect both types.

  • ASIC for Single Event Latchup Protection of Integrated Circuits

    • Presented by Dave Strobel at the SEE Symposium 2000, this presentation covers the ability of Maxwell' Latchup Protection Technology (LPT™) to limit the current to a device; detect above threshold current levels caused by a SEL event; subsequent initiation and maintanance of forced shutdown to allow dissipation of the latchup current, and; returning the device supply voltage to pre-event operation levels.

  • Advanced Commercial Microelectronics for Space Application Using Enabling Radiation Mitigation Technologies


  • Proton Transport: An examination of model and experimental data for space environments

    • Presented by Phil Layton at RADECS 1999, this presentation examines whether protons can be effectively shielded.
