Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A fault tolerance method for combinational circuits is provided. In order to increase reliability of combinational circuits, extra redundant modules are added to the circuit logic. The method further utilizes redundancy techniques to improve soft error reliability, and is based on probability of occurrence for combinations at the outputs of circuits, thus enhancing the reliability of the combinational circuits.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A generalized modular redundancy fault tolerance method for a combinational circuit, comprising the steps of: setting a protection threshold thr for identifying dominant combinations at the outputs of the combinational circuit, wherein a combination S is dominant if probability of occurrence for the combination S is greater than the threshold thr; generating a truth table of the combinational circuit; for each output i of the combinational circuit, calculating pro…
