An integrated circuit (IC) for detecting single event latch-ups (SELs) includes a plurality of wells of a memory circuit and a detection circuit. The detection circuit includes a selection circuit, a comparison circuit, and a fault collection and control management circuit. The selection circuit selects a well of the plurality of wells to sense a voltage or a current in the selected well. The well is selected based on a select signal that indicates a location of the well. The comparison circuit compares the sensed voltage or current with a predetermined threshold to generate a fault signal that may be indicative of the SEL in the selected well. The SEL may be indicative of a fault in the memory circuit. The fault collection and control management circuit determines corrective actions based on the detection of the location of the SEL.
