The cause of interruptions is identified by TPA laser scanning to be single event upsets of row and column registers which setup the cells to be configured.","PeriodicalId":223580,"journal":{"name":"2017 17th European Conference on Radiation and Its Effects on Components and Systems (RADECS)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126000050","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}

As D flip-flop (DFF) and memory (including Block RAM and Configuration RAM) are the key elements in FPGAs, it is crucial to develop radiation hardening techniques for enhanced reliability of the DFF and memory. A novel hardened memory design for FPGA is proposed with multi-bit upset (MBU) protection. We further developed two prototype FPGA chips, one with and the other without SEU hardening for comparison. The FPGA chips are fabricated in a standard 0.13μm CMOS process and have a volume of 3 million equivalent logic gates. In contrast to the base FPGA, the SEU cross section of the memory in the hardened FPGA is at least three orders of magnitude lower. Also, no SEU upsets are observed in the DFF of the hardened FPGA.","PeriodicalId":223580,"journal":{"name":"2017 17th European Conference on Radiation and Its Effects on Components and Systems (RADECS)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115346913","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}

The number of small satellite and CubeSat missions has increased significantly in recent years. Compared to traditional larger satellite missions, CubeSats are designed at lower cost and with shorter development cycles. The reliability of CubeSats and small satellites in on-orbit radiation environments needs to be ensured for mission success. In this study, single event effect analysis has been performed for a 6U-Class satellite instrument in low Earth orbit to improve its on-orbit reliability. Critical commercial off-the-shelf parts of the Command and Data Handling Subsystem of a 6U-Class satellite instrument have been tested under heavy-ion radiation at the Texas A&M University Cyclotron Institute Radiation Effects Facility. SEE characteristics have been tested and analyzed for analog-to-digital data converters, voltage regulators, and current sensing and voltage monitoring devices. Device- and system-level risk analyses have been performed for the Command and Data Handling electronics based on the results of heavy-ion radiation testing. System-level mitigation techniques have been studied to minimize the effects of SEEs on electronic systems for deployment on 6U-Class satellites in low Earth orbit.","PeriodicalId":223580,"journal":{"name":"2017 17th European Conference on Radiation and Its Effects on Components and Systems (RADECS)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116093403","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}
