چکیده
Abstract In high-energy physics experiments, it is a trend to implement digitalization in the front end of readout electronics based on Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), which are exposed radiation environment. As an important part ASIC, SRAM (Static Random-Access Memory) impressionable Single Event Upset (SEU) due Therefore, new SEU-tolerant cell structure was designed our previous work. this paper, test system for evaluating tolerance effect described, and chip’s performance environment presented. The results show that upset cross-section reduced by five times compared with ordinary 6T without increasing power consumption.

SEU-Tolerant SRAM Design Based on Current Monitoring
In this paper, we present a new technique to improve the reliability of SRAMs used in space radiation environments. This technique deals with the SRAM power-bus monitoring by using Built-In Current Sensor (BICS) circuits that detect abnormal current dissipation in the memory power-bus. This abnormal current is the result of a single-event upset (SEU) in the memory and it is generated during the...
متن کاملFault tolerant system design and SEU injection based testing
The methodology for the design and testing of fault tolerant systems implemented into an FPGA platform with different types of diagnostic techniques is presented in this paper. Basic principles of partial dynamic reconfiguration are described together with their impact on the fault tolerance features of the digital design implemented into the SRAM-based FPGA. The methodology includes detection ...
متن کاملSEU-Tolerant QDI Circuits
This paper addresses the issue of Single-Event Upset (SEU) in quasi delay-insensitive (QDI) asynchronous circuits. We show that an SEU can cause abnormal computations in QDI circuits beside deadlock, and we propose a general method to make QDI circuits SEU-tolerant. We present a simplified SEUtolerant buffer implementations for CMOS technology. Finally, we present a case study of a one-bit comp...
متن کاملSingle Event Upset (SEU) in SRAM
Radiation in space is potentially hazardous to microelectronic circuits and systems such as spacecraft electronics. Transient effects on circuits and systems from high energetic particles can interrupt electronics operation or crash the systems. This phenomenon is particularly serious in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuits (ICs) since most of modern ICs are implem...
متن کاملGABES: A genetic algorithm based environment for SEU testing in SRAM-FPGAs
Testing of FPGAs is gaining more and more interest because of the application of FPGA devices in many safety-critical systems. We propose GABES, a tool for the generation of test patterns for applicationdependent testing of SEUs in SRAM-FPGAs, based on a genetic algorithm. Test patterns are generated and selected by the algorithm according to their fault coverage: Faults are injected in a simul...
