Abstract:

This class will give the audience a full understanding SEU basics, such as its fundamental physics, complexity, its impact to component and system. The class will also provide the detail of the different testing techniques, facilities, test methodology and how to quantify the SEU by performing different testing. Finally, the class will reach its ultimate goal that is how to mitigate the SEU impact at component and system level and what are the challenges ahead of us.
Audience should be able to use this class to deal with daily SEU work in the commercial, consumer and enterprise markets.
