Abstract :
In order to attain safety in the case of digital system upset due to noise, a device to detect the digital system´s malfunction due to noise is demanded. This paper describes the design method of a noise sensor flip-flop with asymmetrical noise immunity characteristics. These characteristics mean that noise immunity of Q:H→L due to noise is different from that of Q:L→H due to noise. It is shown that this function is realized by using that the overriding factor of one transistor of output Q being different from another
