An A42MX36 devices was tested at Brookhaven National Lab, using Bromine at normal incidence, for an LET = 38.1 MeV-cm2/mg. VCC was set to a nominal 5.0VDC. All runs resulted in the device latching, almost instantly. An attempt was made to find the latchup sensitive region by masking the part; this effort failed. The results and current strip charts are shown in the table below. Because of the low LET latchup, cross-section information and latchup threshold was not measured. A flux of approximately 1.2 x 105 p/cm2/sec was used for all runs. Latchup currents, for some runs, exceeded two amps.
