Microsemi's radiation-hardened MOSFETs granted space-level qualification

Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC) has granted space-level qualification for Microsemi's first family of radiation-hardened power MOSFET devices.

The DSCC-approved JANSF2N7382 and 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. He added; "Space customers have been searching for alternatives in the radiation hardened MOSFET market and now Microsemi has stepped up to support this demand."
