  • Patent number: 10483951
    Abstract: A circuit may include a ring oscillator circuit and monitoring circuitry. The ring oscillator circuit has a group of inverters in a loop, whereby the group of inverters includes first, second, and third output nodes. The monitoring circuitry may monitor for error events in a signal that has passed through the inverters from any one of the first, second, or third output nodes, and may generate first and second monitoring circuitry outputs. The circuit may further include an error correction circuit that produces an error correction output based on the first and second monitoring circuitry outputs. Accordingly, the monitoring circuitry may generate first and second updated monitoring circuitry outputs based on the error correction output. The first and second updated monitoring circuitry outputs may be logically combined using a logic circuit to reset the signal that has passed through the loop.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit is provided that includes memory elements that exhibit immunity to soft error upset (SEU) events when subjected to high-energy atomic particle strikes. Each memory element may include at least two inverting circuits coupled in a feedback loop. Transistors in the memory element may be grouped in one contiguous region or divided into multiple separate regions. The memory element may include a long gate conductor that extends outside the boundary of the one contiguous region or the multiple separated regions. The long gate conductor may serve to provide parasitic resistance in the feedback loop to help mitigate SEU disturbances.

  • Patent number: 10204906
    Abstract: An integrated circuit that includes an array of random-access memory cells is provided. Each memory cell may include inverting circuits formed from pull-up transistors and pull-down transistors and also access transistors coupled to the inverting circuits. The pull-up transistors may be formed in an n-well. The memory cells may also be coupled to single event latch-up (SEL) prevention circuitry. The SEL prevention circuitry may include a clamping circuit, a voltage sensing circuit, and a driver circuit. In response to a single event alpha particle strike at one of the memory cells, a temporary voltage rise may be presented at the clamping circuit. The voltage sensing circuit may detect the voltage rise and direct the driver circuit to bias the n-well into deep reverse bias region. Operated in this way, the SEL prevention circuitry can mitigate SEL while minimizing memory cell leakage.
