Title
Measurement Circuits For Acquiring Set Pulse Width Distribution With Sub-Fo1-Inverter-Delay Resolution
Abstract
This paper presents two circuits to measure pulse width distribution of single event transients (SETs) We first review requirements for SET measurement in accelerated neutron radiation test and point out problems of previous works in terms of time resolution time/area efficiency for obtaining large samples and certainty in absolute values of pulse width We then devise two measurement circuits and a pulse generator circuit that satisfy all the requirements and attain sub FO1 inverter delay resolution and propose a measurement procedure for assuring the absolute width values Operation of one of the proposed circuits was confirmed by a radiation experiment of alpha particles with a fabricated test chip
