Teledyne e2v Makes Complete LX2160 Peripheral Radiation Reports Available to Space System Designers
Grenoble, France – September 24th, 2026 – Teledyne e2v Semiconductors has announced the availability of a comprehensive set of radiation characterization reports for the LX2160 multicore space processor platform, providing system designers with detailed radiation performance data covering the processor and its key peripheral functions. The reports are intended to support the development of next-generation onboard processing systems, software-defined payloads and advanced space computing systems.
The characterization campaigns evaluated a broad range of LX2160 functions, including processor cores, memory caches, DDR4, PCIe, Ethernet, SATA, eMMC, FlexSPI and other critical interfaces, under representative operating conditions. The objective was to provide system architects with the data needed to assess radiation performance and implement appropriate system-level mitigation techniques.
Testing covered both Total Ionizing Dose (TID) and Single Event Effects (SEE). Results demonstrated stable processor operation up to at least 75 krad(Si) during TID testing, while heavy-ion testing confirmed no destructive latch-up events up to 90 MeV·cm²/mg. Single Event Upsets (SEUs) were successfully corrected using ECC protection mechanisms, and observed Single Event Functional Interrupts (SEFIs) were recoverable through standard reset techniques.
The newly released reports provide customers with detailed datasets, test conditions and statistical analyses that can be used to support mission reliability assessments and radiation-aware system design.
"The availability of these reports represents an important milestone for the LX2160 ecosystem," said Frédéric Devrière, Space Processors Product Marketing Manager at Teledyne e2v Semiconductors, "By providing detailed radiation characterization data for both the processor and its peripheral functions, we are giving system designers the information they need to confidently integrate high-performance processing capabilities into future space missions while optimizing their mitigation strategies."
Teledyne e2v will also present the results of this work at RADECS 2026 in Prague, where Ahmad Al Youssef will deliver a technical poster presentation entitled "Single Event Effects Characterization of the LX2160-Space Processor." The presentation will provide additional insight into the testing methodology, observed radiation responses and recommended approaches for deploying the device in radiation environments encountered across LEO, MEO and GEO missions.
The availability of the complete radiation reports further strengthens the LX2160 value proposition for space applications by enabling designers to make data-driven architecture decisions for high-performance onboard computing platforms.
For access to the full radiation characterization reports, customers are invited to contact their local Teledyne e2v representative.
