Process management for avionics - Atmospheric radiation effects - Part 4: Design of high voltage aircraft electronics managing potential single event effects

Scope

IEC 62396-4:2013(E) provides guidance on atmospheric radiation effects and their management on high voltage (nominally above 200 V) avionics electronics used in aircraft operating at altitudes up to 60 000 ft (18,3 km). This part of IEC 62396 defines the effects of that environment on high voltage electronics and provides design considerations for the accommodation of those effects within avionics systems. This part of IEC 62396 provides technical data and methodology for 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.

This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 62396-1:2012.
