  • Abstract
    This paper describes the concurrent error-detection methods as well as the design and layout hardening techniques employed in the ERC 32, a 32-bit modular fault-tolerant processing core for embedded space flight applications. The core consists of three devices: an Integer Unit (IU), a Floating Point Unit (FPU), and a Memory Controller (MEC)
