Introducing Software-Based Fault Handling Mechanism to Cope with Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) in Digital Electronic Circuits

Abstract

Digital circuits operating under radiation are subject to different kinds of permanent and transient effects. Most electromagnetic (EM) environment in which electronic systems have to operate is becoming increasingly hostile while dependence on electronics is widespread and increasing. The need for digital architectures to survive faults and remain dependable despite the multiple-fault injection nature of the electromagnetic interference (EMI) in microprocessors calls for the
