A temperature-insensitive process corner detection circuit based on self-timing ring oscillator

Lixin Yang et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a process corner detection circuit based on a self-timing ring oscillator to identify on-chip process variations. It has advantages of small area and low power consumption. The circuit can accurately distinguish slow, typical and fast chips at different temperatures, demonstrating good temperature insensitivity for on-chip process corner detection.

Influence and analysis of a commercial ZigBee module induced by gamma rays

Dongseong Shin et al.

Summary: This study investigates the use of wireless communication technologies as accident countermeasures in nuclear power plants. Experimental results show that lower radiation dose rates significantly impact the performance of wireless communication modules compared to higher dose rates. Additionally, the study suggests that the receiver side of the electronic system is more vulnerable to radiation effects when using the request/response communication protocol.
