چکیده

N-modular redundancy (NMR) is commonly used to enhance the fault tolerance of a circuit/system, when subject to a fault-inducing environment such as in space or military systems, where upsets due to radiation phenomena, temperature and/or other environmental conditions are anticipated. Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR), which is a 3-tuple version of NMR, is widely preferred for mission-control space, military, and aerospace, and safety-critical nuclear, power, medical, and industrial control and automation systems. The TMR scheme involves the two-times duplication of a simplex system hardware, with a majority voter ensuring correctness provided at least two out of three copies of the hardware remain operational. Thus the majority voter plays a pivotal role in ensuring the correct operation of the TMR scheme. In this paper, a number of standard-cell based majority voter designs relevant to TMR architectures are presented, and their power, delay and area parameters are estimated based on physical realization using a 32/28nm CMOS process.

A Standard Cell Based Voter for use in TMR Implementation

For digital circuit/system architectures, the triple modular redundancy (TMR) scheme is widely used to cope with circuit/system faults. The TMR scheme involves duplication of a circuit/system twice and the majority voter, based on Boolean majority logic, ensures that the architecture remains functional even if any copy of circuit/system may become faulty at any time. However, the fundamental as...
