In the radiation environment envisaged for the interplanetary mission to Jupiter named Juice,
the electronic equipment will require to withstand up to 300krad of Total Ionization Dose. The
availability of high performance components that can cope with that requirement is low or nonexistent and for that reason ESA funded an activity to create radiation tolerant high-performance
mixed-signal IPs.
In
A rad-hard programmable
P the frame of the project two different ASICs where implemented:
P
∆ modulator (CVB-001) which contains four separate
∆ modulator and a Rad-hard analogue
front-end chip (CVC-001) which contains a Bessel Filter, a Digital to Analogue Converter, a Low
Noise Amplifier and a Power amplifier.
Simulation and validation results of those chips and in particular the detailed behavior of each of
the IPs will be presented.
