The Effects of Space Radiation on Linear Integrated Circuits
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 with examples of radiation effects in fielded space systems.

Radiation Damage of Electronic and Optoelectronic Devices in Space
The effects of radiation damage on modern electronic and optoelectronic is discussed. Ionization damage causes degradation in transistors and integrated circuits, and there are new effects -including enhanced damage at low dose rate -that have to be considered when devices are tested and qualified for space use. For optoelectronic devices displacement damage is usually the main concern. Some ty...
متن کاملDisplacement 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...
متن کاملA MEMS Capacitive Microphone Modelling for Integrated Circuits
In this paper, a model for MEMS capacitive microphone is presented for integrated circuits. The microphone has a diaphragm thickness of 1 μm, 0.5 × 0.5 mm2 dimension, and an air gap of 1.0 μm. Using the analytical and simulation results, the important features of MEMS capacitive microphone such as pull-in voltage and sensitivity are obtained 3.8v and 6.916 mV/Pa, respectively while there is no...
متن کاملPoor Understanding of Radiation Profiles in Deep Space Causes Inaccurate Findings and Misleading Conclusions
The radiation environment in deep space, where astronauts are behind the shelter provided by the Earth’s magnetosphere, is a major health concern. Galactic cosmic rays (GCR) and solar particle events (SPE) are two basic sources of space radiation in the solar system. The health risks of exposure to high levels of space radiation can be observed either as acute and delayed effects. Zhang et al. ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Power Electronic Converters Using the Developed State Space Averaging Method
Power electronic converters are non-linear time-dependent systems whose exact analysis without the use of computers is very difficult, and even using computer softwares requires a long time. Use of the state space averaging method, as will be mentioned, in addition to simplifying the analysis procedure which is a result of converting a time-dependent system to a time-independent one, reduces th...
