Single Event Transients in CMOS Ring Oscillators

In this paper, a time-variant analysis is made on Single-Event Transients (SETs) in integrated CMOS ring oscillators. The Impulse Sensitive Function (ISF) of the oscillator is used to analyze the impact of the relative moment when a particle hits the circuit. The analysis is based on simulations and...

description In this paper, a time-variant analysis is made on Single-Event Transients (SETs) in integrated CMOS ring oscillators. The Impulse Sensitive Function (ISF) of the oscillator is used to analyze the impact of the relative moment when a particle hits the circuit. The analysis is based on simulations and verified experimentally with a Two-Photon Absorption (TPA) laser setup. The experiments are done using a 65 nm CMOS test chip.
