Abstract
Single-event transients (SETs) affecting a single side of a differential data path have been shown to cause signal degradation and data loss. A radiation hardened by design (RHBD) transistor layout technique is demonstrated that promotes charge collection on both sides of the differential data path. The induced common-mode error voltage is suppressed by the differential circuit, significantly reducing the SET amplitude.
