This report presents the effect of neutron displacement damage (NDD) on the TRF0206-SP device. The results show that all devices were fully functional and within production test limits after having been irradiated up to 1 × 1013 n/cm2 (1-MeV equivalent). A sample size of fifteen units was exposed to radiation testing per (MIL-STD-883, Method 1017 for Neutron Irradiation) and an additional unirradiated sample device was used for correlation. All devices used in the experiment were from lot date code 2227B and assembly lot 2007400. Electrical testing was performed at Texas Instruments before and after neutron irradiation using the production test program for 5962R2122001VXC.

The TRF0206-SP is a very high-performance, radiation hardened, differential amplifier optimized for radio frequency (RF), intermediate frequency (IF), or high-speed applications. The device is ideal for ac-coupled applications that may require a single-ended-to-differential (S2D) conversion when driving an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The TRF0206-SP generates very low levels of second- and third-order distortion upto very high frequencies. General device information and testing conditions are listed in Table 1-1.
