Simulation-Based Study of Single Event Transients in a SiGe BiCMOS Low Power Operational Amplifier

Energy depositions from highly ionized particles in space environments can induce transient current (voltage) pulses in microelectronic devices, called Single Event Effects (SEEs). This thesis uses simulations to investigate the single event response of a low power operational amplifier (Op Amp) de...
