The CERN radiation environment can lead to extremely harsh operating conditions for electronic systems. Many electronic systems at CERN must operate reliably in radiation environments. The design of such systems requires that the performance of each individual semiconductor component but also of the entire system is characterized under a radiation environment. Radiation accelerates the degradation…

The CHARM Radiation Test Board (CRaTeBo) is a FPGA radiation-testing platform which allows to test FPGAs and FPGA designs in representative LHC radiation environments in the CERN CHARM facility without having to care about the radiation tolerance of the platform or the communication link. It is a versatile radiation-tolerant board where each part of the…
