Single event latch-up (SEL) is a significant issue for electronics design in space application, which would cause large currents in electronic devices, and may lead to burning out of devices. A new monitoring circuit based on current-comparing method is designed to protect the electronics away from SEL's damage in radiation environment. The response time of protection circuit has been analyzed. The signal simulation results indicated that the operating time of the SEL protection circuit is dependent on the action time of current comparator and system application recovery time. The function of the monitoring circuit protection device away from SEL's damage has validated through experiment at last.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
