This book focuses on the design of a Mega-Gray (a standard unit of
total ionizing radiation) radiation-tolerant ps-resolution
time-to-digital converter (TDC) for a light detection and ranging
(LIDAR) system used in a gamma-radiation environment. Several
radiation-hardened-by-design (RHBD) techniques are demonstrated
throughout the design of the TDC and other circuit techniques to
improve the TDC's resolution in a harsh environment are also
investigated. Readers can learn from scratch how to design a
radiation-tolerant IC. Information regarding radiation effects,
radiation-hardened design techniques and measurements are organized
in such a way that readers can easily gain a thorough understanding
of the topic. Readers will also learn the design theory behind the
newly proposed delta-sigma TDC. Readers can quickly acquire
knowledge about the design of radiation-hardened bandgap voltage
references and low-jitter relaxation oscillators, which are
introduced in the content from a designer's perspective. *
Discusses important aspects of radiation-tolerant analog IC design,
including realistic applications and radiation effects on ICs; *
Demonstrates radiation-hardened-by-design techniques through a
design-test-radiation assessment practice; * Describes a new type
of Time-to-Digital (TDC) converter designed for radiation-tolerant
application; * Explains the design and measurement of all
functional blocks (e.g., bandgap reference, relaxation oscillator)
in the TDC.
