Static and clocked CVSL test circuits have been successfully fabricated utilizing a double polysilicon double metal N-well CMOS technology. The both CVSL circuits have been confirmed to function correctly by the fabricated chip measurements. SET simulation results have confirmed that the CVSL circuits have high SET immunity. SET immunity for the CVSL circuits is compared to that for the conventional CMOS circuits, showing that the CVSL is a candidate for a SET immune spaceborne logic circuit. Furthermore, the static CVSL and clocked CVSL are compared.","PeriodicalId":173369,"journal":{"name":"2008 European Conference on Radiation and Its Effects on Components and Systems","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127219986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose is detecting any issues that might incur during the use of automatic tools for TMR insertion, optimization, place and route, etc. Our analysis does not require a testbench and can perform full, exhaustive coverage within less than an hour even for large designs. This is achieved by applying a divide et impera approach, splitting the circuit into smaller submodules without loss of generality, instead of applying formal verification to the whole netlist at once. The methodology has been applied to a production netlist of the LEON2-FT processor that reported errors during radiation testing, successfully showing its TMR implementation issues.","PeriodicalId":173369,"journal":{"name":"2008 European Conference on Radiation and Its Effects on Components and Systems","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129424301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report on the cross-sections measured as well as on the detailed statistics of the interactions that we measured using novel functionalities in a custom-designed Bit Error Rate Tester.
