Total Ionizing Dose Test of Microsemi's Silicon Switching Transistors JANTXV2N2222AUB and 2N2907AUB

Microsemi's silicon switching transistors, JANTXV2N2222AUB and 2N2907AUB, were tested for total ionizing dose (TID) response beginning on July 11, 2016. This test served as the radiation lot acceptance test (RLAT) for the lot date code (LDC) tested. Low dose rate (LDR) irradiations were performed in this test so that the device susceptibility to enhanced low dose rate sensitivity (ELDRS) could be determined.

Are the Leonid Meteor Storms Coming?

In February 1997, the Japanese Space Agency ISAS launched the first space VLBI Space Observatory Program Satellite (VSOP) using the newly developed M-V launch vehicle.

Are the Leonid Meteor Storms Coming?

On Nov. 17, 1996 an extraordinary Leonid meteor storm (144,000 per hour) was witnessed by observers in central and western United States. With an orbital period of 33 years, the next return to perihelion will be Feb. 28, 1998. Because the distribution of the particles flying in formation with the parent comet is poorly known, no secure predictions can be made for Leonid meteor storms in the coming years.
