Implementing dynamic SEU detection and correction method and circuit
Abstract:
A method and a circuit for implementing dynamic single event upset (SEU) detection and correction, and a design structure on which the subject circuit resides are provided. The circuit implements detection, correction and scrubbing of unwanted state changes due to SEUs, noise or other event in semiconductor circuits. The circuit includes a plurality of L1 L2 latches connected in a chain, each L1 L2 latch includes an L1 latch and an L2 latch with the L2 latch having a connected output monitored for a flip. A single L2 detect circuit exclusive OR (XOR) is connected to each L2 latch. An L2 detect circuit XOR tree includes an input connected to a true output of a respective L2 latch in the chain. An L2 clock (LCK) trigger circuit is connected to an output of the L2 detect circuit XOR tree and is shared across each of the plurality of L1 L2 latches for correcting bit flip errors.
