Several radiation-hardened-by-design (RHBD) techniques are demonstrated throughout the design of the TDC and other circuit techniques to improve the TDC's resolution in a harsh environment are also investigated. Readers can learn from scratch how to design a radiation-tolerant IC. Information regarding radiation effects, radiation-hardened design techniques and  measurements are organized in such a way that readers can easily gain a thorough understanding of the topic. Readers will also learn the design theory behind the newly proposed delta-sigma TDC. Readers can quickly acquire knowledge about the design of radiation-hardened bandgap voltage references and low-jitter relaxation oscillators, which are introduced in the content from a designer's perspective.   ·         Discusses important aspects of radiation-tolerant analog IC design, including realistic applications and radiation effects on ICs; ·         Demonstrates radiation-hardened-by-design techniques through a design-test-radiation assessment practice; ·         Describes a new type of Time-to-Digital (TDC) converter designed for radiation-tolerant application; ·         Explains the design and measurement of all functional blocks (e.g., bandgap reference, relaxation oscillator) in the TDC.Analog Circuits and Signal Processing,1872-082XElectronic circuitsElectronicsMicroelectronicsCircuits and Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24068Electronic Circuits and Deviceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31010Electronics and Microelectronics, Instrumentationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24027Electronic circuits.Electronics.Microelectronics.Circuits and Systems.Electronic Circuits and Devices.Electronics and Microelectronics, Instrumentation.620621.381621.3815Cao Yingauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut720925Leroux Paulauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autSteyaert Michielauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910299699203321Radiation-Tolerant Delta-Sigma Time-to-Digital Converters2531500UNINA
