Abstract:
Examples described herein provide for single event latch-up (SEL) mitigation techniques. In an example, a circuit includes a semiconductor substrate, a first transistor, a second transistor, and a ballast resistor. The semiconductor substrate comprises a p-doped region and an n-doped region. The first transistor comprises an n+ doped source region disposed in the p-doped region of the semiconductor substrate. The second transistor comprises a p+ doped source region disposed in the n-doped region of the semiconductor substrate. The p+ doped source region, the n-doped region, the p-doped region, and the n+ doped source region form a PNPN structure. The ballast resistor is electrically connected in series with the PNPN structure between a power node and a ground node.
