Rapid And Accurate Timing Simulation Of Radiation-Hardened Digital Microelectronics Using Vhdl, Charles P. Brothers Jr. Mar 1994

Rapid And Accurate Timing Simulation Of Radiation-Hardened Digital Microelectronics Using Vhdl, Charles P. Brothers Jr.

Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation presents the development of a fast, accurate, timing simulation capability based on VHSIC Hardware Description Language VHDL without the use of back annotation of timing delay information. This VHDL-based timing simulator is intended for use with radiation-hardened microelectronics in simulating timing of circuit operation in pre-radiation, post-radiation 1 MradSi total dose, and ionizing dose radiation environments. Development of the timing models are presented. The implementation of the timing models are incorporated into a VHDL library composed of basic logic gates and flip-flops. Simulations of complex circuits were run in SPICE and VHDL to assess the timing accuracy and …
