  • Abstract
    This presentation details the results of heavy ion radiation testing of two types of digital step attenuator fabricated in Peregrine Semiconductor´s UltraCMOS® process. No single event effects were observed, even at the highest LET particle available at the RADEF facility. These results demonstrate the very high robustness of this process to SEE.
