Complementary 2(N)-bit redundancy for single event upset prevention
Abstract:
The present disclosure describes various aspects of complementary 2(N)-bit redundancy for single event upset (SEU) prevention. In some aspects, an integrated circuit includes a data storage element to store a data value, another data storage element to store a complementary data value, a multi-bit data storage element (e.g., a 2-bit storage element) to store both the data value and the complementary data value, and voting logic that may enable a complementary data storage scheme with inter-circuit redundancy to prevent SEU. Additionally, the voting logic of the integrated circuit may enable detection and correction of data value errors and/or enable programming of voting logic criteria, which may be implemented dynamically based on a type of SEU failures that are detected or corrected.
