Total Ionizing Dose Test on AT90CAN128 MicroController

Abstract

Rapid growth in using Commercial of The Shelf (COTS) components in Space missions compelled the researchers to evaluate the performance of this components in space environment. AT90CAN128 commercial microcontroller is used in AutSat mission due to high performance, simple structure, low power consumption and the ability of CAN bus management. In this paper the result of Total Ionizing Dose test on this microcontroller is presented. These results confirm the possibility of using this microcontroller for our satellite with minimum 3 years life cycle.
