English abstract:
The main theme of this paper is to present an efficient radiation tolerant Muller C-Element (MCE). We are at present designing an ASIC to experimentally investigate single event transients (SETs) in different types of combinational (NAND/NOR tree, XNOR tree, Inverter chain, etc.) and sequential (Flip-Flop chains, etc.) circuits. For measuring the length of SETs, SET sensitivity and SET propagation we need an on-chip infrastructure (reference and error counters) to capture and preprocess the data before transferring them to a host computer. This infrastructure will be exposed to the same radiation sources as the target circuits; therefore it needs to be radiation tolerant. As a part of infrastructure we employ Up/Down Counters built with MCEs, hence the analysis.
