Heavy ion induced negative pulse Double Clocking As a Result of Heavy Ion Induced Pulse Cartoon of clock/logic upset. The device is most sensitive during the transition.
Clock Upset Instrumentation Differential Error Counts Cumulative Error Counts
VCC CSRAM 1 Switch 1 Normally On A ‘High’ Node Contention current path OUT CSRAM 2 B ‘Low’ Node Switch 2 Normally Off Upset to ON GND Driver Contention Due to CSRAM Upset
Heavy Ion Hit Transient Pulse Passed One Buffer Data In Mode 1 Transient Upset • Transient pulse higher than half VDC will propagate • Qcrit ~ 0.02pC, or LETth ~ 2MeV-cm2/mg for the worst case
Heavy Ion Hit Hitting Leading Edge CSRAM Hitting Trailing Edge OUT IN Mode 2 Transient Upset (Scenario 1) Q • CSRAM switch is gating the data path. • Metastable (Transient) state in CSRAM due to SEU will modified the signal pulse. • Narrowed signal may disappear and widened signal may cause racing issue. • Hardening increases CSRAM metastable period
Heavy Ion Hit CSRAM QB Q Normally ‘High’ Q A ‘Low’ QB OUT QB B ‘High’ Q Mode 2 Transient Upset (Scenario 2) • CSRAM switch control the MUX. • Metastable (Transient) state in CSRAM due to SEU will temporarily select the wrong input. • Hardening increases CSRAM metastable period.
