Waveforms of digital single-event transients, radiation-induced voltage transients in logic gates, can be observed by connecting two transistors to a target logic gate. Additional transistors monitor voltage transients through their drain currents, which can be measured using the conventional 50-transmission-line technique widely used for measuring transient currents in single elementary transistors. Experimental results obtained in pulsedlaser irradiation tests demonstrate the validity of the observation technique and clearly reveal the pulse evolution as a function of the laser pulse energy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
