Abstract
Abstract. The results of a destructive single-event effect susceptibility
radiation test of the PNI RM3100 magnetometer sensor, specifically the
MagI2C ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) on the sensor
board are presented. The sensor is a low-resource commercial off-the-shelf
(COTS) magneto-inductive magnetometer. The device was monitored for
destructive events and functional interruptions during exposure to a heavy
ion beam at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's 88′′ Cyclotron. The
RM3100 did not experience any destructive single-event effects when
irradiated to a total fluence of 1.4 × 107 cm−2 at an effective
linear energy transfer (LET) of 76.7 MeV cm2 mg−1 while operated at
nominal voltage (3.3 V) and elevated temperature (85 ∘C). When
these results are combined with previous total ionizing dose tests showing
no failures up to 150 kRad (Si), we conclude that the PNI RM3100 is extremely
radiation tolerant and can be used in a variety of space environments.
期刊介绍:
Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems (GI) is an open-access interdisciplinary electronic journal for swift publication of original articles and short communications in the area of geoscientific instruments. It covers three main areas: (i) atmospheric and geospace sciences, (ii) earth science, and (iii) ocean science. A unique feature of the journal is the emphasis on synergy between science and technology that facilitates advances in GI. These advances include but are not limited to the following:
concepts, design, and description of instrumentation and data systems;
retrieval techniques of scientific products from measurements;
calibration and data quality assessment;
uncertainty in measurements;
newly developed and planned research platforms and community instrumentation capabilities;
major national and international field campaigns and observational research programs;
new observational strategies to address societal needs in areas such as monitoring climate change and preventing natural disasters;
networking of instruments for enhancing high temporal and spatial resolution of observations.
GI has an innovative two-stage publication process involving the scientific discussion forum Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems Discussions (GID), which has been designed to do the following:
foster scientific discussion;
maximize the effectiveness and transparency of scientific quality assurance;
enable rapid publication;
make scientific publications freely accessible.
