Single-event effects (SEE) during operation of power regulators can cause the output of the regulator to be as high as the regulator input for short durations, on order of tenths of microseconds. Consequently, any device that is powered by the regulator could see this supply glitch during normal operation of the device. This report summarizes the experiments and data collected to study the impact of these power supply glitches on the RTAX™-S and RTSX-SU devices on printed circuit boards.
