Design of Radiation Tolerant Readout System for an Integrated SRAM Based Neutron Detector

Malinowski P., Makowski D., Jablonski G., Napieralski A., Technical University of Lodz, PL

This paper presents a design of a radiation tolerant readout system for an SRAM-based neutron detector. The radiation tolerance has been achieved on the system level by applying Error Detection and Correction schemes. The constructed [...]

Research of Fault-Tolerant Computing Using COTS Elements

Swiercz B., Makowski D., Napieralski A., Technical University of Lodz, PL

The problem of designing hardened systems is very important for modern physics. The physics experiences design in linear accelerators and synchrotrons need measurements and control devices, which are under radiation impact. This paper highlights the [...]

FPGA-based Neutron Radiation Tolerant Microcontroller

Makowski D., Jablonski G., Grecki M., Mielczarek J., Napieralski A., Technical University of Lodz, PL

The paper presents a FPGA-based neutron radiation detector using radiation sensitive SRAM as a detector. Its main component is a PIC16C57-compatible microcontroller, described in VHDL. The system has been designed using hardware redundancy, Hamming error [...]

The Application of SRAM Chip as a Novel Neutron Detector

Makowski D., Grecki M., Mukherjee B., Simrock S., Swiercz B., Napieralski A., Technical University of Lodz, Department of Microelectronics and Computer Science, PL

Bremsstrahlung gamma radiation and photoneutrons are generated during the operation of linear accelerators. These parasitic radiations could pose a risk of radiation damage electronic systems placed in the vicinity of accelerator. One can use different [...]

The IAradSim – IA32 Architecture under a High Radiation Environment Simulator

Swiercz B., Makowski D., Napieralski A., Technical University of Lodz, PL

Systems, which were designed for military or space applications, very often are exposed to increased radiation. The problem of designing hardened systems is very important for modern physics. The physics experiences design in linear accelerators [...]
