We have essentially investigated the single event effects (SEE) induced by ions having linear energy transfer (LET) values between LET=1.6 MeV/spl middot/cm/sup 2//mg and LET=78 MeV/spl middot/cm/sup 2//mg. Our tests were performed on a device of the APEX family manufactured by Altera Corporation, featuring a SRAM-based configuration memory. The test methodology was based on the implementation of four shift registers (SRs), two of them using the triple-modular-redundant (TMR) technique. The functionality of this circuit was continuously checked during irradiation and every detected error was logged and time-stamped by a control system. Very few single event upsets have been detected in the SRs. On the contrary, we have recorded a large number of single event functional interrupts (SEFIs). SEFIs were induced by SEUs in the SRAM configuration memory. We observed a constant increase of the supply current during irradiation but this effect was not due to single event latch-ups, but to progressive SEU-induced driver contentions or cumulative micro latch-ups. The configuration memory cross section has been calculated from SEFI cross section.","PeriodicalId":135340,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Radiation Effects Data Workshop","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114633794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
