Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of digital devices, and particularly relates to a method for constructing a radiation effect IBIS model, which can be used for simulating the radiation effect of digital integrated circuits. Background Technique
[0002] The IBIS model file is a text file that contains model data such as input / output, buffer, and specification information required for simulating digital integrated circuits. More specifically, the IBIS model is a data list composed of numerical values of the electrical parameters inside the device, and these data can reflect characteristics such as the switching speed and driving ability of the device. It describes how to record different parameters of the driver and receiver of a chip in a standard IBIS file, but does not explain how these recorded parameters are used. These parameters need to be read by the simulation tool of the IBIS model.
[0003] A complete IBIS file describes the threshold level, package parameters, V-I characteristics of the power clamp transistor and ground clamp transistor of the input buffer, which are described by Power_Clamp and Gnd_Clamp respectively; the VI curves of the pull-up transistor and pull-down transistor of the output buffer, the Pullup and Pulldown curves. If the output includes a tri-state, there are also the Power_Clamp and Gnd_Clamp curves of the corresponding power clamp transistor and ground clamp transistor, and also include the VT curve describing the level conversion transient. Different types of buffers contain different data.
[0004] The IBIS model is very suitable for use in circuit simulation tools. It provides a behavioral description of the driver and receiver without leaking the intellectual property details of the internal structure of the circuit. Since IBIS is a simple model, when doing simple load simulation, it saves 10 to 15 times the amount of calculation compared to the transistor-level model simulation of the corresponding general integrated circuit simulator SPICE.
[0005] In recent years, with the rapid development of aerospace technology, the problem of radiation damage to digital devices caused by high-energy charged particles in space has become increasingly serious. The main irradiation effects include total dose effect, single particle effect, instantaneous dose rate effect, and displacement damage effect, etc. These irradiation effects will cause the electrical and functional characteristics of digital integrated circuits on spacecraft to degrade, thus affecting the normal operation of spacecraft. Therefore, using computer simulation methods to model and simulate digital integrated circuits before and after radiation, so as to carry out radiation hardening of digital integrated circuits is the focus of current research.
[0006] In order to study the impact of space radiation on digital circuit systems, it is necessary to first construct an irradiation effect model for digital devices. To better simulate the characteristics of digital devices in an irradiated environment, the device model should not only reflect the electrical characteristics of digital devices but also be convenient for simulation on a computer and incorporate irradiation factors. The IBIS model meets these requirements very well. Currently, there are mainly two methods for constructing the IBIS model of the radiation effect of digital devices. One is obtained through simulation of the SPICE model of general integrated circuit simulators, which has a large time overhead and high resource consumption. The other is obtained through measurement. However, due to the need to build a systematic measurement system and the requirement for precise measurement equipment and software, there is no complete measurement system in the industry yet. The simulation method requires providing the SPICE model of general integrated circuit simulators. Since the SPICE model of general integrated circuit simulators involves the internal principles and manufacturing processes of devices, most device manufacturers do not provide it. Therefore, the IBIS model cannot be obtained through simulation of the SPICE model of general integrated circuit simulators and can only be obtained through measurement. Thus, how to design a method for constructing a radiation effect model of digital integrated circuits based on a measurement system is the most effective way to solve the problem of modeling and simulation of the radiation effect of digital devices.

That is, first, the first channel of the controllable voltage source is used to supply power to the original device, and load resistors are connected between the device output pin to be measured and the device VCC and between the device output pin to be measured and the device GND respectively. Then, an excitation from "high level - low level" is applied to the device input terminal, and the VT characteristic measurement module in the control unit is used to measure the VT curve across the load resistor, and it is displayed and saved through the VT characteristic measurement module. The data of the obtained VT curve is the Rising Waveform of the VT waveform at the rising edge of the output buffer when the load is connected to the power supply and the load is grounded. If it is necessary to measure the Falling Waveform curve, the original device needs to be connected to the FallingWaveform measurement circuit for the falling edge waveform of the buffer. That is, first, the first channel of the controllable voltage source is used to supply power to the original device, and load resistors are connected between the device output pin to be measured and the device VCC and between the device output pin to be measured and the device GND respectively. Then, an excitation from "low level - high level" is applied to the device input terminal, and the VT characteristic measurement module in the control unit is used to measure the VT curve across the load resistor, and it is displayed and saved through the VT characteristic measurement module.
