Single-Event-Upset Tolerant RS Flip-Flop with Small Area

摘要

SUMMARY This paper presents a construction of a single-event-upset (SEU) tolerant reset-set (RS) flip-flop (FF). The proposed RS-FF consists of four identical parts which form an interlocking feedback loop just like DICE. The area and average power consumption of the proposed RS-FFs are 1.10 ~ 1.48 and 1.20 ~ 1.63 times smaller than those of the conventional SEU tolerant RS-FFs, respectively.
