  • Abstract
    A study was done of Single Event Upset (SEU) in pulse width modulation (PWM) controllers which feature either soft start or shutdown circuits. Upsets occurring in the soft start circuit of these devices may greatly effect the external circuit depending on the configuration of the PWM
