The application of pulsed lasers to the study of Single-Event Effects (SEEs) in integrated
circuits and devices is described. The role of a pulsed laser is to provide spatial and …

Today's high-energy physics colliders host experiments that rely on transmission of massive
volumes of data (exceeding tens of tera bytes per second) for physics analysis. From the …

There is an invisible enemy that constantly threatens the operation of electronics: ionizing
radiation. From sea level to outer space, ionizing radiation is virtually everywhere. At sea …

A radiation-hardened-by-design phase-locked loop (PLL)-designed and fabricated in 130
nm CMOS-is shown to mitigate single-event transients (SETs). Two-photon-absorption (TPA) …

In this work, a comparison has been made between a low noise ring-oscillator and an LC-
oscillator Phase Locked Loop (PLL). An ASIC has been developed to conduct irradiation …

Voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) have been shown to dominate the single-event
transient (SET) response of mixed-signal circuits such as the phase-locked loop (PLL). An …

This paper presents a radiation tolerant phase-locked loop CMOS application-specified
integrated circuit with an optimized voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) for single-event …

Space applications, nuclear physics, military operations, medical imaging, and especially
electronics (modern silicon processing) are obvious fields in which radiation damage can …

Abstract Single Event Transients (SET's) occur in analog integrated circuits due to the strike
of a heavy-ion (or) heavy energy proton at the transistor junction. It produces electron–hole …

As technology feature size decreases, single event upset (SEU), and single event transient
(SET) dominate the radiation response of microcircuits. Multiple bit upset (MBU)(or multi cell …
