Dynamic Testing of a Commercial FRAM Device Under Gamma Ray Dose and Neutron Beam

This work presents dose rate and neutron testing on an FRAM device in dynamic operation during radiation pulses. Radiation failure modes are shown to be unique. Dose rate failure is shown to be based primarily on integrated dose in the radiation pulse and terminates the FRAM operation and can alter up to 8 bytes of data in storage. Neutron failures are attributed to a shifting of data like a clocking error.
