Nuclear Event Detector (NED)

NED Product Part

Micross Components’ MYXRHNEDHCJ/X Nuclear Event Detector provides a functional replacement for nearly 40-year old legacy NED devices.

The Nuclear Event Detector is available screened to Class H Military flow or Class K Space flow, and feature integrated differential drivers – providing improved overall noise immunity, 300% greater radiation dose sensitivity, and 25% faster response times in comparison with legacy devices. Legacy NED devices require external differential drivers, which typically increase weight due to additional radiation shielding requirements, and further increase response times by up to 100%. 

Customized NEDs can be optimized for the fastest response time, highest sensitivity, broadest dynamic range, reduced size and weight, or the most optimal combination of these features to address your specific requirements.

Overview

Micross Components’ MYXRHNED Nuclear Event Detector can detect gamma radiation pulses from a nuclear event. Within 15 ns following the leading edge of an incoming gamma radiation pulse, the NED will assert its differential pulse and level output signals. The NED’s level output may then be reset by the assertion of a differential input signal. The MYXRHNED features a minimum dose rate threshold of 5 x 104 rads(Si)/sec, thereby providing higher sensitivity than currently available NEDs. The dose rate threshold can be increased upwards up to 2 x 107 rads(Si)/sec, by means of an external adjustment resistor. The NED, which is available in a 44 pin J-Lead ceramic package, is radiation hardened, enabling it to operate reliably in environments with high gamma doses and dose rates, neutrons and heavy ions; and provide immunity to latch up.  It achieves this by using a rad-hard-by-design ASIC designed specifically for this purpose.  Since the ASIC contains the line drivers and receivers on-board as Rad Hard blocks, no additional consideration is need for those functions.
