Checker no-harm alarm robustness

Checker no-harm alarm robustness
Checker no-harm alarm robustness
In this paper we evaluate the probability that a transient fault (TF), multiple or single, affecting a checker of a self-checking circuit, gives rise to an unnecessary error indication (no-harm alarm). A new property (no-harm alarm robustness) has been defined that, in case of a fault affecting a self-checking circuit (SCC), guarantees that we can determine whether the fault is affecting the functional block, or the checker itself, and whether such a fault is a transient or a permanent fault. Finally, we propose a possible solution implementing the defined property. Its behavior has been verified by means of HSpice simulations, and we evaluate its cost in terms of area overhead and introduced delay.

Abstract

In this paper we evaluate the probability that a transient fault (TF), multiple or single, affecting a checker of a self-checking circuit, gives rise to an unnecessary error indication (no-harm alarm). A new property (no-harm alarm robustness) has been defined that, in case of a fault affecting a self-checking circuit (SCC), guarantees that we can determine whether the fault is affecting the functional block, or the checker itself, and whether such a fault is a transient or a permanent fault. Finally, we propose a possible solution implementing the defined property. Its behavior has been verified by means of HSpice simulations, and we evaluate its cost in terms of area overhead and introduced delay.
