DESCRIPTION:

Maxwell Technologies’ HSN-1000 radiation-hardened Hybrid Nuclear Event Detector (NED) senses ionizing radiation pulses generated by a nuclear event, such as the detonation of a nuclear weapon, and rapidly switches its output from the normal high state to a low state with a propagation delay time of less than 20ns.

FEATURES:

• Detects ionizing radiation pulses

• 100 tested/certified detection threshold level

• Adjustable circumvention period

• 100 testable with built-in test

• Detection threshold adjustability

• Single +5V operation

• Radiation hardness guaranteed

• Compliant to MIL-PRF-38534 Class H1

• Flat pack (F) or DIP (L) packages

RADIATION HARDNESS CHARACTERISTICS:

• Dose Rate (operate-through): 1 x 1012 rad(Si)/sec

• Total Dose: 1 x 106 rad(Si)

• Neutron Fluence: 5 x 1013 n/cm2

• Approximate Detection Range: 2 x 105 - 2 x 107 rad(Si)/sec

• Maxwell Technologies Specified, Controlled, Tested and Guaranteed
