Abstract
A radiation hardened configuration bit cell design is proposed for an SRAM-based FPGA used in space application. The p-type gate poly on p-substrate structure provides a radiation immune resistor and a capacitor for RC hardened signal path. In addition to area efficiency, the proposed cell also overcomes the traditional linear energy transfer sensitivity to process and temperature variation.
