  1. Single Event Latchup(SEL)

  2. Definitions Single Event Latchup (SEL) is a potentially destructive condition involving parasitic circuit elements forming a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR). In traditional SEL, the device current may destroy the device if not current limited and removed "in time." A "microlatch" is a subset of SEL where the device current remains below the maximum specified for the device. A removal of power to the device is required in all non-catastrophic SEL conditions in order to recover device operations.

A large set of parts from multiple lots were tested, showing a wide range of SEL LETTH and latchup currents. Some latchups were destructive with either higher ICC or functional failure.
