Application note
Minimizing the SET-related effects
on the output of a voltage linear regulator
Introduction
This application note deals with the effects of SET (single event transient) on the
RHFL4913A low-drop linear regulator. After a short description of the phenomenon, some
solutions for coping with these effects are introduced and discussed.
The RHFL4913A voltage regulator
The RHFL4913A is an adjustable high-performance positive voltage regulator with
exceptional radiation performance. It is tested in accordance with the Mil Std 883E method
1019.6, in ELDRS conditions. The device is available in the Flat-16 and the new SMD5C
hermetic ceramic package, as shown in Figure 1, and the QML-V die is specifically
designed for space and harsh radiation environments. In Figure 2 the internal block diagram
is shown.
