Study on irradiation effects of nucleus electromagnetic pulse on single chip computer system

Intense electromagnetic pulse，namely nucleus electromagnetic pulse(NEMP)， lightning electromagnetic pulse(LEMP) and high power microwave(HPM), can disturb and destroy the single chip computer system. To study this issue, we made irradiation experiments by NEMPs generated by gigahertz transversal electromagnetic(GTEM) Cell. The experiments show that shutdown, restarting, communication errors of the single chip microcomputer system would occur when it was irradiated by the NEMPs. Based on the experiments, the cause on the effects on the single chip microcomputer system is discused.
