RT Book, Section T1 Defining a strategy to perform life-tests with analog devices A1 Franco Peláez, Francisco Javier A1 Palomar Trives, Carlos A1 Liu, Shih Fu A1 López Calle, Isabel A1 Maestro De La Cuerda, Juan Antonio A1 Agapito Serrano, Juan Andrés AB Unlike for memory elements inside integrated circuits, scarce life tests have been performed to study single event transients in discrete analog devices. The reason is that life tests require a large amount of samples to be stored for having enough data allowing statistical conclusions and, usually, single event transients are captured by means of oscilloscopes. In this paper, we propose a strategy to carry out life tests in analog voltage comparators by means of digital programmable device that can detect anomalous pulses in the voltage comparator. Besides, the idea on which this kind of tests relies can be extended to be used with other families of analog devices, such as operational amplifiers, voltage references, etc. PB IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc SN 978-1-4577-0585-4 YR 2011 FD 2011 LK https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/45548 UL https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/45548 LA eng NO ©IEEE ©2012 Elsevier B.VISSN : 0379-6566European Conference on Radiation and its Effects on Components and Systems (RADECS. 2011) (12. 2011.
