摘要

互补金属氧化物半导体技术的不断进步使得触发器（FF）很容易受到软误差的影响。单节点中断（SNU）和双节点中断（DNU）是典型的软误差。本文提出了两种抗辐射的 FF 设计，即 DNU 耐受 FF（DUT-FF）和 DNU 可恢复 FF（DUR-FF）。首先，提出了主要由四个双互锁存储单元（DICE）和三个双输入 C 元件组成的 DUT-FF。然后，为了提供 DNU 的完全自我恢复，提出了主要使用六个互锁 DICE 的 DUR-FF。它们具有以下优点1) 它们可以完全防止 SNU 和 DNU；2) DUT-FF 具有成本效益，但 DUR-FF 可以从任何 DNU 中提供完全的自我恢复。仿真结果表明，DUT-FF 具有完全的 SNU/DNU 耐受能力，DUR-FF 具有完全的 SNU/DNU 自我恢复能力，但与 SNU 加固型 FF 相比，DUT-FF 要以不可或缺的面积开销为代价。此外，与同类 FF 相比，所提出的 FF 具有较低的延迟，适合高性能应用。

Two Double-Node-Upset-Hardened Flip-Flop Designs for High-Performance Applications

The continuous advancement of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technologies makes flip-flops (FFs) vulnerable to soft errors. Single-node upsets (SNUs), as well as double-node upsets (DNUs), are typical soft errors. This article proposes two radiation-hardened FF designs, namely DNU-tolerant FF (DUT-FF) and DNU-recoverable FF (DUR-FF). First, the DUT-FF which mainly consists of four dual-interlocked-storage-cells (DICEs) and three 2-input C-elements, is proposed. Then, to provide complete self-recovery from DNUs, the DUR-FF which mainly uses six interlocked DICEs is proposed. They have the following advantages: 1) They can completely protect against SNUs as well as DNUs; 2) the DUT-FF is cost-effective but the DUR-FF can provide complete self-recovery from any DNU. Simulations show the complete SNU/DNU tolerance of DUT-FF and the complete SNU/DNU self-recovery of DUR-FF but at the cost of indispensable area overhead when compared to the SNU hardened FFs. Besides, compared to the FFs of the same-type, the proposed FFs achieve a low delay making them suitable for high-performance applications.
