© 2015 Elsevier., A reliable voltage reference is mandatory in mixed-signal systems. However, this family of components can undergo very long single event transients when operating in radiation environments such as space and nuclear facilities due to the impact of heavy ions. The purpose of the present paper is to demonstrate how a simple cell can be used to detect these transients. The cell was implemented with typical {COTS} components and its behavior was verified by {SPICE} simulations and in a laser facility. Different applications of the cell are explored as well., Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Banco Santander, Depto. de Estructura de la Materia, Física Térmica y Electrónica, Depto. de Química Física, Fac. de Ciencias Físicas, Fac. de Ciencias Químicas, TRUE, pub

The aim and goal of this work has been to design and implement a voltage reference network for a 12-bit PSAADC, Parallell Successive Analog to Digital Converter. A chip containing the design has been sent away for fabrication. Because of the long processing time, no measurement data are presented. The main specifications for the voltage reference generator is to generate stable reference voltages with low noise and a good PSRR. Efforts has also been made to minimize the power consumption.
