Designing Integrated Circuits to Withstand Space Radiation

Donald C. Mayer and Ronald C. Lacoe
Crosslink, Summer 2003

The high cost of maintaining dedicated foundries to create space electronics has motivated an exploration
of alternatives for next-generation space systems.  One approach in  particular -- the use  of design
techniques to mitigate the effects of space radiation on integrated circuits -- is gaining wider acceptance.
