FPGA architectures for fault tolerance typically support either built-in hardware redundancy, or firmware configurable redundancy. The configurable redundancy allows more flexibility in allocating resources, but is inefficient and burdens the development cycle. This paper presents a method whereby an FPGA or other programmable array device (e.g. mu...

... errors. Within D-type flip flops, the clock for the slave latch (second half) is derived locally by inversion from the main clock, and is suscep- tible to SET in the single string circuits. Dual clocks are used within dual flip flops, where the clock for the second half of the cell is derived via inversion of the main clock as shown in Fig. 4. TMR flip flops triplicate the inverted second half ...

Commercial SRAM-based, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have the potential to provide space applications with the necessary performance to meet next-generation mission requirements. However, mitigating an FPGA’s susceptibility to single-event upset (SEU) radiation is challenging. Triple-modular redundancy (TMR) techniques are traditionally us...

This paper discusses the issue of providing tolerance to both hardware and software faults by defining several hybrid-fault-tolerant architectures, which can co-exist and work simultaneously at the top of the supporting environment, and introduces a systematic method for evaluating their dependability, efficiency and response time. To address gener...
