  • Abstract
    Single-Event Transient effects on dynamic comparators using dual-well and triple-well technologies in a 90-nm CMOS process are investigated using pulsed-laser and schematic simulations. Results show that circuit vulnerability is a strong function of technology, circuit topology, and individual transistor currents.
