Modeling of functional failures in digital systems under the radiation effect. Automation and Remote Control Volume 74, Issue 4, April 2013, Pages 671-678

In this paper we study modeling techniques for functional failures in digital systems under the radiation effect; these techniques are based on Brouwers model of a fuzzy digital automaton. In comparison with common approaches, a fundamental difference of such method lies in the feasibility of explicit consideration (in functional-logical models) of the relationship between radiation resistance of integrated circuits (IC) and their mode of operation, functional state, engineering and schematic parameters. In addition, certain methods for constructing criterion membership functions are proposed for basic elements in different IC. Finally, the algorithms for forecasting transient and residual radiation effects in IC are developed. © 2013 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
