3.0 RADIATION HARDNESS
The UT69RH051 incorporates special design and layout features
which allow operation in high-level radiation environments.
UTMC has developed special low-temperature processing
techniques designed to enhance the total-dose radiation hardness
of both the gate oxide and the field oxide while maintaining the
circuit density and reliability. For transient radiation hardness
and latchup immunity, UTMC builds all radiation-hardened
products on epitaxial wafers using an advanced twin-tub CMOS
process. In addition, UTMC pays special attention to power and
ground distribution during the design phase, minimizing dose-
rate upset caused by rail collapse.

(Referenced to VSS)
Notes:
1. Stresses outside the listed absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only, and functional operation of the device
at these or any other conditions beyond limits indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not recommended. Exposure to absolute maximum rating
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
2. Test per MIL-STD-883, Method 1012.
