AbstractAbstract
[en] Total ionizing dose hardening of commercial FPGAs for space applications is presented briefly. Total ionizing dose effects of Actel anti-fuse FPGAs are analysed in detail, including effects of fabrication technologies, bias condition and charge pump. The results show that degradation of the internal charge pump is a key factor in severe degradation of the systems. It is vitally important that radiation testing should include special measurements of start-up transients. Lastly, available hardening techniques are discussed

AbstractAbstract
[en] The characteristics' degradation and X-ray enhancement effects of N80C196KC20 chips were presented. The X-ray and 60Co irradiations of N80C196KC20 chips from Intel Company were performed to investigate the response of operating currents Icc. The operation failure symbolizes the total dose response of the chips. The total dose failure level of the chips is very low, and the γ total dose failure is about 165 Gy(Si). The operating current of the chip increases significantly when failure of the chip happens. The X-ray enhanced factor of N80C196KC20 chip is measured and the X-ray enhancement mechanism is studied.
