In analog circuit design, the bulks of MOSFETs can be tied to their respective sources to remove body effect. This paper models and analyzes the sensitivity of single-event transients (SETs) in common source (CS) amplifier with bulk tied to source (BTS) in 40 nm twin-well bulk CMOS technology. The simulation results present that the proposed BTS radiation-hardened-by-design (RHBD) technique can reduce charge collection and suppress the SET induced perturbation effectively in various input conditions of the circuit. The detailed analysis shows that the mitigation of SET is primarily due to the forward-bias of bulk potential. This technique is universally applicable in radiation-hardening design for analog circuits with negligible penalty.

As wide application of EEPROM devices in space and military field, more and more researches focus on its radiation hardened characteristics in international. To improve the single-event effect (SEE) tolerant ability of read-out circuits in the memory, a radiation hardened circuit is designed. The design kernels of radiation hardened latch-flip are given and designed to resist the single-event upset (SEU) effect. A correction circuit is proposed to resist the single-event transient (SET) effect. The performances of this design are: SEU (LET)th ≥ 27 MeV•cm2/mg, SEL(LET)th ≥ 75 MeV•cm2/mg , read out time ≤200 ns. The new design not only satisfied the needs of present work, but supplies a worthful reference for radiation hardened circuit design in future.

An investigation into the application of Genetic Algorithms (GA) for the design of electronic analog circuits is presented in this paper. In this paper an investigation of the use of genetic algorithms into the problem of analog circuits design is presented. In a single design stage, circuits are produced that satisfy specific frequency response specifications using circuit structures that are unrestricted and with component values that are chosen from a set of preferred values. The extra degrees of freedom resulting from unbounded circuit structures create a huge search space. It is shown in this paper that Genetic Algorithms can be successfully used to search this space. The application chosen is a LC all pass ladder filter circuit design.Key Words: Computer-Aided Design, Analog Circuits, Artificial Intelligence.
