Displacement Damage in Bipolar Linear Integrated Circuits

The effects of proton and gamma radiation are compared for several types of integrated circuits with complex internal design and failure modes that are not as straightforward as the input bias current mechanism that is frequently used to study damage effects in linear devices. New circuit failure mechanisms were observed in voltage regulators that cause them to fail at much lower levels when th...

Audio Applications of Linear Integrated Circuits

Recent developments in configuration design and optimization of mineral separation circuits; A Review

The present research reviews two basic approaches for the separation circuit configuration analysis. The first approach is to optimize the circuit configuration. In this method, after a circuit modeling, a variety of search algorithms and mathematical optimization methods are used. Previous works show that this approach has more application in the flotation process. The second approach called t...

The Effects of Space Radiation on Linear Integrated Circuits

Permanent and transient effects are discussed that are induced in linear integrated circuits by space radiation. Recent developments include enhanced damage at low dose rate, increased damage from protons due to displacement effects, and transients in digital comparators that can cause circuit malfunc-tions. Methods of selecting and testing devices for space applications are discussed, along wi...
