  • Abstract
    We present two techniques for correcting radiation-induced soft errors in combinational logic - error correction using duplication, and error correction using time-shifted outputs. Simulation results show that both techniques reduce combinational logic soft error rate by more than an order of magnitude. Soft errors affecting sequential elements (latches and flip-flops) at combinational logic outputs are automatically corrected using these techniques
