- Company Profile:
National Semiconductor Corporation designs, develops, manufactures, and markets analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits and sub-systems.
Conformance to a set of predetermined design and workmanship standards. Quality and reliability are not synonymous.
Industry:Semiconductors
Ongoing sample testing on a periodic basis to determine conformance with the quality and reliability standards established in Qualification.
Industry:Semiconductors
A list of those suppliers and/ or devices which have been qualified for a given program, specification or set of specifications.
Industry:Semiconductors
Modification of the wafer fabrication process in order to improve a device's radiation tolerance characteristics.
Industry:Semiconductors
The ability of a device to withstand radiation exposure without degradation or logic upset. Bipolar devices tend to be inherently harder than MOS devices.
Industry:Semiconductors
Testing of a device to determine its radiation tolerance.
Industry:Semiconductors
The tendency inherent in a device to degrade as a result of exposure to radiation. MOS devices typically are more susceptible to radiation damage than bipolar devices.
Industry:Semiconductors
The quantity of any type of ionizing radiation that will impart 100 ergs of energy per gram of silicon.
Industry:Semiconductors
A storage device in which the ability to access a randomly selected bit of stored data is independent of either the timing of the most recent access of that bit or the location of the most recently addressed bit. Data may be read nondestructively, but existing data is automatically erased when new data is written into a specific bit location. RAMs may be either static (that is, able to retain data when the power supplies are not biased) or dynamic (that is unable to retain data unless a "refresh" voltage is periodically applied).
