Abstract :
A single event upset (SEU) prediction tool, PRISM (Protons In Semi-conductor Materials) has been used to model the proton induced upset rate in Texas TMS4416 DRAMs on-board the UoSAT-2 micro-satellite. Good agreement is found between the observed and theoretically determined SEU and MBU (multiple-bit upset) rates for this device
