Single-Event Transient Measurements on a DC/DC Pulse Width Modulator Using Heavy Ion, Proton, and Pulsed Laser

This paper discusses multiple methods of Single-Event Transient (SET) measurements on a commercial DC/DC Pulse Width Modulator (PWM). Heavy ion, proton, and pulsed laser are used in the experiments. The correlations between the heavy ion, pulsed laser and proton data are analyzed and presented. A proton cross-section model is used to derive proton cross-section from heavy ion test data. The calculated result is close to the real proton data, which means the heavy ion and proton data fit well. The relationship between pulsed laser and proton are also analyzed through heavy as a medium.
