Resumen
Integrated circuits suffer severe deterioration due to single-event upsets (SEUs) in irradiated environments. Spin-transfer torque magnetic random-access memory (STT-MRAM) appears to be a promising candidate for next-generation memory as it shows promising properties, such as non-volatility, speed, and unlimited endurance. One of the important merits of STT-MRAM is its radiation hardness, thanks to its core component, a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ), being capable of good function in an irradiated environment. This property makes MRAM attractive for space and nuclear technology applications. In this paper, a novel radiation-hardened triple modular redundancy (TMR) design for anti-radiation reinforcement is proposed based on the utilization of STT-MTJ devices. Simulation results demonstrate the radiation-hardened performance of the design. This shows improvements in the design?s robustness against ionizing radiation.
