Abstract :
In this paper a novel self-checking voting scheme for TMR systems is presented. With respect to the other available solutions it features the advantages of requiring lower area overhead and power consumption, with no degradation of on-line self-testing ability and speed. Consequently it is suitable for TMR systems to be used in critical applications where, besides high reliability, also low area overhead and power consumption are relevant constraints
