This book presents fault-tolerant techniques for programmable architectures, the well-known
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), customizable by SRAM. FPGAs are becoming …

Software-Implemented Hardware Fault Tolerance addresses the innovative topic of software-
implemented hardware fault tolerance (SIHFT), ie, how to deal with faults affecting the …

The appearance of nanometer technologies has produced a significant increase of
integrated circuit sensitivity to radiation, making the occurrence of soft errors much more …

In this paper, a new methodology for the injection of single event upsets (SEU) in memory
elements is introduced. SEUs in memory elements can occur due to many reasons (eg …

The test case execution order affects the time at which the objectives of testing are met. If the
objective is fault detection, an inappropriate execution order might reveal most faults late …

Evaluating the sensitivity to soft-errors of integrated circuits and systems became a main
issue especially if they are intended to operate in space or at high altitudes. In this paper, a …

The probability of faults occurring in the field increases with the evolution of the CMOS
technologies. It becomes, therefore, increasingly important to analyze the potential …

Fault-tolerant circuits are currently required in several major application sectors, and a new
generation of CAD tools is required to automate the insertion and validation of fault-tolerant …

Space applications, nuclear physics, military operations, medical imaging, and especially
electronics (modern silicon processing) are obvious fields in which radiation damage can …
