Description

Irradiations an subsequent failure analyses were performed to investigate single event dielectric rupture (SEDR) in Actel FPGAs as a function of ion LET (linear energy transfer), angle, bias, temperature, feature size, and device type. The small cross sections imply acceptably low risk for most spacecraft uses
