Abstract
The space environment is
characterized with various energetic particles like cosmic rays, cosmic
neutrons, alpha particles and heavy ions from solar flares. Nowadays most of
the circuits used in space applications are being made of Complementary Metal
Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS). The technology is scaling down, i.e. reduction in
supply voltage and node capacitances lead to decrease of amount of charge
stored on a node, which makes the circuit more vulnerable towards particle
induced charge. When amount of this particle induced charge is high enough, a
transient fault appears like a glitch called as Single Event Transient (SET).
As the feature size scales down, the vulnerability of circuits to radiation
induced error has also been increased, as this may cause Double Node Upset
(DNU) i.e Single Event Double Node Upset (SEDU). In this paper, some of the
best known designs to mitigate the Single Event Upset as well as Single Event
Double Node Upset in 65 nm CMOS technology using standard TSPICE tool has been
discussed. The comparison of those designs on the same platform i.e 65 nm
technology is presented, their power consumption and propagation delay are also
compared.
