SINGLE EVENT UPSETS IN SPACECRAFT DIGITAL SYSTEMS

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 22-25, 1984 / Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada / This paper describes the physical environment that can result in random bit changes in
space-borne memory systems. The impact of bit flips in digital telemetry systems is
emphasized, with special attention paid to software requirements for protection from single
event upset (SEU) effects. Some observations on incidence rates are presented along with
an outline of hardware and software methods that can be taken to prevent future SEU
problems. Several conclusions are drawn about strategies for preventing data corruption on
the next generation of satellites in the presence of SEU-inducing particles.
