But their increasing capacity and concentration of memory and logics leads to more frequent occurrences of single event upsets, especially in high altitudes. In this work we discuss the effects and mitigation of single event upsets on avionics systems to help in developing future requirements. To do that we initially present the concepts of radiation environment of the atmosphere, radiation induced errors, single event upsets, etc. Then, we discuss some of their effects on avionic systems and ways of mitigation. Finally, we discuss provisions to demand the adoption of such mitigation measures, and their sufficiency. This will help in developing future requirements to accomplish the objectives of a safe operation of civil transportation aircraft. %@mirrorrepository sid.inpe.br/mtc-m19@80/2009/08.21.17.02.53 %T A Discussion on the Effects and Mitigation of Single Event Upsets on Avionics Systems to Help in Developing Future Requirements %@secondarytype PRE CI %K Avionics, Radiation Effects, Single Event Upset, Fault Tolerant System, System Engineering. %@usergroup administrator %@usergroup marciana %@group %@group DMC-ETE-INPE-MCT-BR %3 2011-36-0256 SAE Brasil 2011 Paper Sergio Machado e Marcelo Lopes.pdf %@secondarykey INPE--PRE/ %2 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m19/2012/01.11.15.37.28 %@affiliation Brazilian National Civil Aviation Agency - ANAC %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@versiontype publisher %4 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m19/2012/01.11.15.37 %@documentstage not transferred %D 2011 %V SAE Technical Paper 2011-36-0256 %@doi 10.4271/2011-36-0256. %S Proceedings %A Machado, Sérgio Roberto Ferreira, %A Souza, Marcelo Lopes de Oliveira e, %@area ETES
