Abstract
The results of a research program to evaluate heavy ion single event effects in 12- and 16-bit ADCs are presented. The devices studied were the AD676, AD7884 and AD7893. Transient and “lingering” errors were found as well as bit flips and a temporary latch-up phenomenon. Implications for test methodologies are discussed
