Several commercial SRAMs have been tested by the CERN R2E project with neutrons of various energy. The test data are used to cross-compare facilities and to analyze variabilities within SRAMs from the same manufacturer. FIT for atmospheric and ground applications are provided as well as predictions for accelerator soft error rates.

ARM processors power a class of high-performance, lower power system on a chip devices. In the absence of radiation effects, these devices are highly desirable for space use. The processor core architecture for ARM devices is licensed to provide computing on multiple hardware platforms. The A5 processor is in a unique pioneering space for providing detailed radiation response data to explore the baseline performance of these devices. These data can help set options for ARM processors and possibly impact design choices for the next generation of ARM fault tolerance capabilities. The SAMA5D3 was tested to establish general SEE performance for a relatively simple implementation of the ARM A5 core. This testing observed SRAM sensitivity starting at an LET of about 3 MeV-cm2/mg, with a saturated cross section of about 2×10-8cm2/bit, and this was determined by both active write and read of the caches, in addition to the use of a debugger to provide test results. Crash/SEFI data was collected using both Linux and bare metal C-code. The onset LET for crashes was about LET 1.5 MeV-cm2/mg, with saturated cross sections of about 2×10-5cm2 for bare metal (low utilization), and 2×10-4cm2 for Linux (high utilization) tests.

this paper examines the single-event latchup (SEL) and single event upset (SEU) response of the Xilinx 7nm XCVC1902 ES1 Versal ACAP Programmable Logic irradiated with neutrons and 64 MeV protons sources. No SEL was observed in the entire Xilinx 7nm XCVC1092 for worst case conditions. Furthermore, The SEU response for single-event upsets on configuration RAM (CRAM) cells, block RAM (BRAM) and block RAM (BRAM) cells are provided.

A custom-designed test chip built on Global Foundries 22FDX® technology was investigated for its response to TID and SEE environments. While measurements of the performance for the technology in a first design match well with some reported results from prior testing, the use of a second custom radiation-hardened design demonstrated a significant 6x improvement in the per-bit cross section for a shift register test structure.
