Evaluation of System Reliability and Heavy Ion Angular Effects

Abstract: Microsemi (Microchip) RTG4 embedded triple modular redundant (TMR) phase-locked-loop (PLL) SEU data is presented. SEU data analysis includes: 1) Evaluation of heavy-ion beam angular effects (rectangular parallel pipe (RPP) or no RPP), 2) Importance of finding linear energy transfer (LET) onset (L0), 3) Comparison of prediction rate techniques.
