Radiation Effects on Embedded Systems

This book provides major guidelines for coping with radiation effects on components supposed to be included in today?s applications devoted to operate in space, but also in the atmosphere at high altitude or at ground level. It contains a set of chapters based on the tutorials presented at the International School on Effects of Radiation on Embedded Systems for Space Applications (SERESSA) that was held in Manaus, Brazil, November 20-25, 2005. Coverage includes space radiation effects, design hardening methodologies, simulation techniques of the transient effects of radiation on integrated circuits, methodology and tools for radiation ground testing on circuits and systems, and qualification of circuits and systems for space applications. It provides

The book will provide all IC engineers with useful information regarding outside (environmental) influences on their designs, in this way we see this to be an excellent reference.
