This paper presents an enhanced design flow for the implementation of hardened systems on SRAM-based FPGAs, able to cope with the occurrence of Single Event Upsets (SEUs). The framework integrates three strategies independently designed to tackle the problem of SEUs; first a systematic methodology is used to harden the circuit exploiting an enhanced TMRbased technique, coupled with partial dynamic reconfiguration. Then, a robustness analysis is performed to identify possible TMR failures, eventually solved by a specific local re-design of the critical portions of the implementation. We present the overall flow and the benefits of the solution, experimentally evaluated on a realistic circuit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
