Single Event Upsets under 14-MeV Neutrons in a 28-nm SRAM-based FPGA in Static Mode

A sensitivity characterization of a Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA against 14.2 MeV neutrons is presented. The content of the internal SRAMs and flip-flops were downloaded in a PC and compared with a golden version of it. Flipped cells were identified and classified as cells of the configuration RAM, BRAM, or...

Resumo:A sensitivity characterization of a Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA against 14.2 MeV neutrons is presented. The content of the internal SRAMs and flip-flops were downloaded in a PC and compared with a golden version of it. Flipped cells were identified and classified as cells of the configuration RAM, BRAM, or flip-flops. SBUs and MCUs with multiplicities ranging from 2 to 8 were identified using a statistical method. Possible shapes of multiple events are also investigated, showing a trend to follow wordlines. Finally, MUSCA SEP3 was used to make assesment for actual environments and an improvement of SEU injection test is proposed.
