Single Event Upsets correlated with environment

IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 1994
Single Event Upset rates on satellites in different Earth orbits are correlated with solar protons and geomagnetic activity and also with the NASA AP8 proton model to extract information about satellite anomalies caused by the space environment. An extensive discussion of the SEU data base from the TOMS solid state recorder and an algorithm for ...

Single-event upset in flash memories

IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 1997
Single-event upset was investigated in high-density flash memories from two different manufacturers. Many types of functional abnormalities can be introduced in these devices by heavy-ions because of their complex internal architecture. Changes in the stored memory contents sometimes occurred, even when devices were irradiated in a read mode with the ...

A Single Event Upset Resilient Latch Design with Single Node Upset Immunity

Journal of Electronic Testing, 2019
In this paper, a latch design with single node immunity to single event upsets during the hold state is proposed. This structure is based on the original Quatro latch and have two more redundant storage nodes. Compared with the reference, this structure is able to recover if any of these nodes is struck by ion particles during the hold state and it ...

Formal Methods for Modelling and Analysis of Single-Event Upsets

2015 IEEE International Conference on Information Reuse and Integration, 2015
When a high-energy particle such as a proton strikes a CPU, the impact may result in the corruption of a data register on the CPU. Such a single-event upset (SEU), in which a random bit is flipped in the content of a data register, can lead to critical errors in the execution of a program.

Single Event Upsets and Hot Pixels in digital imagers

2015 IEEE International Symposium on Defect and Fault Tolerance in VLSI and Nanotechnology Systems (DFTS), 2015
From extensive study of digital imager defects, we found that permanent “Hot Pixels” are the main long term digital camera defects, and are caused by high energy cosmic ray particles. Clearly, as in other microelectronic integrated circuits, most of the particles do not induce permanent damage but instead, inject a short term charge that may cause a ...

A Built-in Single Event Upsets Detector for Sequential Cells

Journal of Electronic Testing, 2015
A built-in single event upsets (SEUs) detector is presented in this paper. This detector utilizes charge sharing to detect an SEU in a sequential cell, and the detection process is analyzed through Accuro simulations in a 65 nm technology. The normal operation of this detector would not induce obvious performance degradation of the target circuit ...

On-line characterization and reconfiguration for single event upset variations

2009 15th IEEE International On-Line Testing Symposium, 2009
The amount of physical variation among electronic components on a die is increasing rapidly. There is a need for a better understanding of variations in transient fault susceptibility, and for methods of on-line adaptation to such variations. We address three key research questions in this area.

Single Event Upset Error Rates

1997
This chapter together with Chapter 8 provides the major share of the discussion on the practical aspects of single event upset (SEU). This includes formulas for computing SEU in various particle environments. Section 5.2 discusses SEU calculations for heavy-ion cosmic rays at geosynchronous altitudes and Section 5.3 for Van Allen belt protons.

Analysis of single-event upsets in a Microsemi ProAsic3E FPGA

2017 18th IEEE Latin American Test Symposium (LATS), 2017
The desirable use of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) in aerospace & defense field has become a general consensus among IC and embedded system designers. Radiation-hardened (rad-hard) electronics used in this domain is regulated under severe and complex political and commercial treaties.

Single Event Upset Hardening of Interconnects

2016
With advances in technology scaling, circuits are increasingly more sensitive to transients caused by Single Event particles. Hardening techniques for CMOS combinational logic have been developed to address the problems associated with Single Event Transients , but in these designs, SET coupling effects have been ignored.
