A high-speed wireline interfaces, e.g. LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling), are widely used in the aerospace field for powerful computing in artificial satellites and aircraft [ 19 ]. This paper describes Bit Error Rate (BER) prediction methodology for wireline data transmission under irradiation environment at the design stage of data transmitter, which is useful in proactively determining if the design circuit meets the BER criteria of the target system. Using a custom-designed LVDS transmitter (TX) to enhance latch-up immunity [ 42 ], the relationship between transistor size and BER has been analyzed with focusing on Single Event Effect (SEE) as a cause of the bit error. The measurement was executed under 84 Kr 17+ exposure of 322.0 MeV at various flux condition from 1 × 10 3 to 5 × 10 5 count/cm 2 /sec using cyclotron facility. For the analysis of the bit error, circuit simulation by SPICE was utilized with expressing the irradiation environment by a current source model. The current source model represents a single event strike into the circuit at drain and substrate junctions in bulk MOSFETs. For the construction of the current source model, a charge collection was simulated at the single particle strike with the creation of 3D Technology CAD (TCAD) models for the MOS devices of bulk transistor process technology. The simulation result of the charge correction was converted to a simple time-domain equation, and the single-event current source model was produced using the equation. The single-event current source was applied to SPICE simulation at bias current related circuits in the LVDS transmitter, then simulation results are carefully verified whether the output data is disturbed enough to cause bit errors on wireline data transmission. By the simulation, sensitive MOSFETs have been specified and a sum of the gate area for these MOSFETs has 29% better correlation than the normal evaluation index (sum of the drain area) by comparison to the actual BER measurement. Through the precise revelation of the sensitive area by SPICE simulation using the current model, it became possible to estimate BER under irradiation environment at the pre-fabrication design stage.
