    摘要: A simulation model is used to predict a semiconductor device's response to a single event upset. The simulation model is connected to a model of the semiconductor device to be tested. The simulation model switches in an impedance path between a node to be tested in the semiconductor device model and an opposite voltage supply until a predefined amount of charge has been reached via sourcing (for a low to high voltage transition) or sinking (for a high to low voltage transition). When the predefined amount of charge has been reached, the impedance path is switched out. The switching of the impedance path approximates the charge movement that occurs from a heavy ion strike passing through a sensitive volume. By varying the predefined amount of charge, the semiconductor device's susceptibility to SEU can be predicted without having to resort to physical testing.

    摘要: A voltage divider circuit can be realized by dividing a higher than rated operating voltage across a plurality of MOS transistors. The voltage divider circuit can be used for a wide variety of ratios of low and high operating voltages. Only one gate input voltage is needed, minimizing power dissipation, heat, and hot carrier effects. The voltage divider circuit is employed in a voltage driver circuit to generate a high output voltage in response to a low voltage input while minimizing damage to the MOS transistors within the voltage driver circuit.

The method include forming at least one removable core member comprising a first metallic material that is removable in a wellbore fluid at a first removal rate; and disposing at least one outer member on the core member, the outer member comprising a second material that is removable in the wellbore fluid at a second removal rate, wherein the removable core member has a composition gradient or a density gradient, or a combination thereof, and wherein the first removal rate is substantially greater than the second removal rate. A method of using a composite downhole article is also disclosed. The method includes forming a composite downhole article as described above; using the article to perform a first wellbore operation; exposing the article to the wellbore fluid; and selectively removing the second removable member.
