The soft error rate (SER) detector circuit presented here can be used to measure SER in combinatorial logic devices caused by radiation. The SER detector circuit includes a plurality of detector arrays coupled in series, and each having a plurality of SER test structures coupled in series. Each of the SER test structures includes a plurality of detector elements coupled in series. Each of the SER test structures is configured to detect single event transients (SETs) in a first operating mode and single event upsets (SEUs) in a second operating mode. The SER detector circuit also has control logic elements to control operation of the plurality of detector arrays. |
