Process management for avionics - Atmospheric radiation effets - Part 4: Guidelines for designing with high voltage aircraft electronics and potential single event effects
This technical specification is intended to provide guidance on atmospheric radiation effects
on high voltage (nominally above 200 V) avionics electronics used in aircraft operating at
altitudes up to 60 000 ft (18,3 km). It is intended to be used in conjunction with IEC/TS 62396-
1. This specification defines the effects of that environment on high voltage electronics and
provides design considerations for the accommodation of those effects within avionics
systems.
This technical specification is intended to help aerospace equipment manufacturers and
designers to standardise their approach to single event effects on high voltage avionics by
providing guidance, leading to a standard methodology.
Details are given of the types of single event effects relevant to the operation of high voltage
avionics electronics, methods of quantifying those effects, appropriate methods to assist
design and methods to demonstrate the suitability of the electronics for the application.
