  • Abstract
    A hardened version of Texas Instruments´´ VC33 Digital Signal Processor was created without any mask changes. The commercial mask set was processed using Silicon Space Technology´´s HardSIL™ process variant to produce the hardened version. Radiation testing of the resulting hardened circuit demonstrated significant improvement in performance.
