Microsemi Announces DSCC Qualification Of New Radiation-Hardened Power MOSFET Product Line For Space Applications

August 12, 2009 by Jeff Shepard

Microsemi Corp. announced that space-level qualification has been granted by the Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC) on Microsemi’s first family of radiation-hardened power MOSFET devices.

With this initial product qualification, Microsemi is releasing a full line of space level radiation-hardened power MOSFET devices to complement its existing line of non radiation-hardened, hermetic MOSFETs that already have QML qualification from DSCC.

The DSCC-approved JANSF2N7382 and the JANSF2N7389 qualifications confirm that Microsemi’s 100V, P-Channel Power MOSFETs are radiation hardened to meet the total dose requirements of MIL-PRF-19500/615 and MIL-PRF-19500/630 up to 300,000 RAD(Si).

"We are extremely pleased to have received these qualifications from DSCC, enabling us to launch this new product line," said Doug Milne, Vice President and General Manager of Microsemi’s Lawrence, Massachusetts facility. "Space customers have been searching for alternatives in the radiation hardened MOSFET market and now Microsemi has stepped up to support this demand."
