  • Abstract
    Single-event transients (SETs) from heavy ions and laser beam are investigated for two positive adjustable linear voltage regulators: the RH117 from linear technology and the HS-117RH from Intersil. Both positive and negative going transients are observed. The role of input voltage, load capacitance and supply current on the SET response is discussed.
