Abstract :
Results are presented on a generalized approach to derive radiation-inclusive simplified terminal models of linear microcircuits for use in computer aided systems analysis. The resulting models represent the complex driving-point impedances, the forward and reverse voltage transfer functions, and the ionizing-radiation induced transient photoresponse. The technique has been demonstrated by generating a terminal model of the ¿A709 operational amplifier, with the resulting model having 50 times fewer elements than the "detailed" model.
