Highlights Alternative procedure for components TID radiation qualification. Comparative analysis between gamma rays versus X-rays as TID radiation source. Medical LINAC valid for a TID characterization as a radiation source of electronic components.
Abstract Ionizing radiation can cause temporary or permanent failures in electronic components used in space applications. The characterization of these components and the design of on-board electronic systems that are tolerant and functional under these conditions are fundamental requirements in flight systems engineering. This paper presents experimental results from tests performed with as gamma radiation source, comparing them with those results obtained with a medical LINAC (LINear ACcelerator) producing X-rays with similar energy. Following ESA ESCC-22900 standard it was shown that the results achieved with both radiations are equivalent, and therefore we prove that medical LINACs, that are much more easily accessible than facilities, are suitable for testing electronic systems for space applications.
