(Last Updated:

NOTE:
Unless specifically stated within the parts selection tables of
the NPSL, listing of a device technology herein does NOT imply/guarantee
Radiation Hardness Assurance (RHA). Applications concerned with
a device's ability to tolerate exposure to various forms of space
radiation (e.g., total ionizing dose, single event effects, etc.)
should be reviewed and have the device assessed by the Program's
radiation assurance experts. The following resources may also
be consulted for initial guidance:

Level
1 Microcircuits
Level 1 microcircuits are defined as those currently qualified to
-
MIL-PRF-38535
"Integrated Circuits (Microcircuits) Manufacturing, General Specification
for" as QML Class V or,
-
MIL-M-38510
"Microcircuits, General Specification for" as QPL
JAN Class S or,
-
Space quality source control drawings (SCDs), where QML/QPL does not
exist, which meet all of the technical requirements of MIL-STD-883,
Method 5004 and 5005 for a Class S device
- European Space
Agency (ESA) SCC Level B Lot Acceptance Level
2 (LA2)
- Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) QPL/QML
Class I
Level
2 Microcircuits
Level 2
microcircuits are defined as those currently qualified to
-
MIL-PRF-38535
"Integrated Circuits (Microcircuits) Manufacturing, General Specification
for" as QML Class Q or,
-
MIL-M-38510 "Microcircuits, General Specification for" as
QPL JAN Class B, when modified/screened per mission
requirements for space
- European Space
Agency (ESA) SCC Level C [Note 1]
- Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) QPL/QML
Class II
Notes:
1) ESA has gone to
a single Level system based on ESA SCC Level B, so that new product will
only be available as SCC Level B. ESA SCC Level C products may remain
available for previously manufactured product while stocks last.

"For
Reference Only": ARCHIVE of NPSL Detailed
Microcircuit Listings
- On October 25, 2005 the microcircuit
section of the NPSL was updated to reflect assorted editorial changes
requested by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
These changes included:
- Change all references to "JAXA"
from "National Aerospace Development Agency of Japan (NASDA)"
- Delete references to NASDA PPL which
has been inactivated by JAXA
- Change references to "JAXA QPL/QML"
from "NASDA QTS"
- Delete all previously listed JAXA
IC, transistor and diode parts listings (except for thin cell
diode) due to decertification of these technologies by JAXA
- Update contact info for JAXA EEE
parts managers
- Add link to JAXA
Qualified EEE Parts Database for reference only
- On April 21, 2003
the microcircuit section of the NASA Parts Selection List (NPSL) was updated
to simplify the listing to show only the acceptable Levels (see
above). This change has the effect of expanding upon the previous
NPSL microcircuit section of acceptable part types without providing a
detailed listing of part numbers and descriptions. Previous revisions
of the NPSL microcircuit section used these same basic definitions for
acceptable Levels, but also included a detailed list of part numbers,
descriptions and sources. Due to the constant state of change in availability
of qualified microcircuit technologies and associated sources, this type
of detailed listing within the NPSL was never able to remain current.
For this reason future updates to the NPSL will no longer attempt to maintain
such a detailed listing for microcircuits. For "reference only"
the detailed listing from the past NPSL microcircuit section has been
retained as an archive. Users of the NPSL
are advised that the archived listing forms only a small subset of the
device technologies considered acceptable per the NPSL guidelines. In
addition, the archive is not being maintained, therefore users should
consult the latest QML or QPL for current qualification status of these
devices.
