Automatic Insertion of Fault-Tolerant Structures at the RT Level

چکیده
Historically, there has been a lack of CAD tools for the design of on-line testable circuits. As a consequence, the design of on-line testable circuits is currently being made manually to a large extent. In this paper we propose a new tool for the automatic insertion of faulttolerant structures in an HDL synthesizable description of the design. With this tool, a fault-tolerant version of the design can be automatically produced according to the user specifications. The resulting fault-tolerant design is also described in an HDL and can be simulated and synthesized with commercial tools. Examples are shown to demonstrate the capabilities of this approach.

TITLE PAGE An Industrial Environment for High-Level Fault-Tolerant Structures Insertion and Validation
When designing a VLSI circuits, most of the efforts are now performed at levels of abstractions higher than gate. Correspondingly to this clear trend, there is a growing request to tackle safety-critical issues directly at the RT-level. This paper presents a complete environment for considering safety issues at the RT level. The environment was implemented and tested by an industry for devising...

Fault Tolerance (F-T) is an important issue in electronic devices. Detecting and even correcting internal faults during normal operation makes possible the usage of these circuits in critical applications. F-T has been taken into account for many years during design process of these applications, but it has not obtained any profit of latest advances in automatic CAD tools that optimise the desi...

Quantum dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is one of the important nano-level technologies for implementation of both combinational and sequential systems. QCA have the potential to achieve low power dissipation and operate high speed at THZ frequencies. However large probability of occurrence fabrication defects in QCA, is a fundamental challenge to use this emerging technology. Because of these vari...

We present an approach to design of fault tolerant computing systems. In this paper, a technique is employed that enable the combination of several codes, in order to obtain flexibility in the design of error correcting codes. Code combining techniques are very effective, which one of these codes are turbo codes. The Algorithm-based fault tolerance techniques that to detect errors rely on the c...
