  • Abstract
    Frequency domain analysis is shown to be useful for quantifying the single-event vulnerability of a mixed-signal circuit. Frequency domain single-event analysis is demonstrated for different pipelined analog-to-digital converter topologies. Design tradeoffs of comparator redundancy are evaluated using a signal-to-noise ratio metric.
