abstract: Digital systems are essential to the technological advancements in space exploration. Microprocessor and flash memory are the essential parts of such a digital system. Space exploration requires a special class of radiation hardened microprocessors and flash memories, which are not functionally disrupted in the presence of radiation. The reference design ‘HERMES’ is a radiation-hardened microprocessor with performance comparable to commercially available designs. The reference design ‘eFlash’ is a prototype of soft-error hardened flash memory for configuring Xilinx FPGAs. These designs are manufactured using a foundry bulk CMOS 90-nm low standby power (LP) process. This thesis presents the post-silicon validation results of these designs. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Electrical Engineering 2016
