GF12 - 0.8V LVDS Rad-Hard Transceiver in GF 12nm
A radiation-hardened GlobalFoundries 12nm LP/LP+ 0.8V LVDS Transceiver.
Overview
A radiation-hardened GlobalFoundries 12nm LP/LP+ 0.8V LVDS Transceiver.
The 2.5Gbps LVDS transceiver in GlobalFoundries LP/LP+ is designed for high-speed, low-power data transmission in radiation-intensive environments. Engineered with a Rad-Hard by Design approach, the Rad-Hard cells have been proton tested to 64 MeV with a flux exceeding 1.3E+09, and is latch-up proven to 200mA across -40C to 125C, ensuring robust immunity against TID, SEE, and SEL effects. Additionally, the LVDS transceiver meets 2kV HBM, 500V CDM, and 2kV IEC 61000-4-2 system-level ESD protection, delivering superior reliability for harsh environments. With high speed integrity, low jitter, and minimal power consumption, this IP is ideal for aerospace, defense and other mission critical applications while maintaining compliance with industry-standard LVDS specifications.
