Abstract

Due to the complexity of large scale integrated circuits, it can become time consuming to analyse Single Event Effect (SEE) in large circuits. Hence, this paper proposes a rapid
simulation scheme for large scale circuits. It takes advantage of transistor simulation tools and VLSI digital simulation tools to achieve both high accuracy and efficiency. The experiment results
show that one million SEEs can be injected into the S27 circuit in 55 s, while the HSPICE simulation takes 67000 times longer
