Abstract

This paper describes a device model for the simulation of the effects of single-event and radiation phenomena on the operation of GaAs MESFETs. The model can be utilized in a circuit simulator to evaluate integrated circuit designs and aid in the provision of adequate upset margins for various operating environments. Additional sub-circuit construction is unnecessary since the electrical responses to the different phenomena are intrinsic to the device template. Example simulations using SPICE3 are described.
