Single Event Upset at Ground Level
نویسنده
چکیده
Ground level upsets have been observed in computer systems containing large amounts of random access memory (RAM). Atmospheric neutrons are most likely the major cause of the upsets based on measured data using the Weapons Neutron Research (WNR) neutron beam.

Analysis of Current Transients in SRAM Memories for Single Event Upset Detection
Soft errors resulting from the impact of charged particles are emerging as a major issue in the design of reliable circuits at deep sub-micron dimensions even at ground level. To face this challenge, a designer must dispose of a variety of mitigation schemes adapted to their specific design constraints. Built In Current Sensors have been proposed as a detection scheme for single event upsets in...

Due to cosmic rays, electronic devices such as SRAM may undergo some dysfunctions such as single event upsets also called Soft errors. A crucial issue for aerospace applications is to be able to predict the Soft Error rate of a given device in a given environment. In this work, we present a predictive tool which deals with protons and heavy ions for space applications and with neutrons for atmo...
متن کاملSingle Event Upset Effects on the Clementine Solid State Data Recorder
The sensitivity of the Clementine 2.1 Gbit Solid State Data Recorder (SSDR) to single event upsets was characterized in ground tests. Subsequent in-situ measurements of the ambient radiation environment by experiments on-board Clementine permitted evaluation of the ability of models of the single event phenomenon in the SSDR to be tested using actual data. Initial results from the analysis reve...
متن کاملA Stimulus-free Probabilistic Model for Single-Event-Upset Sensitivity
With device size shrinking and fast rising frequency ranges, effect of cosmic radiations and alpha particles known as Single-Event-Upset (SEU), Single-Eventtransients (SET), is a growing concern in logic circuits. Accurate understanding and estimation of Single-EventUpset sensitivities of individual nodes is necessary to achieve better soft error hardening techniques at logic level design abstr...
