This Letter proposes a low-cost, single event double-upset tolerant latch which utilises interlocked nodes to keep data, clock gating (CG) in Muller C-element (MCE) to turn off the storage cell, a three-input MCE to block the soft error from the storage cell and a weak keeper to prevent high impedance state. The storage cell in the proposed latch has better reliability than the conventional triple path dual-interlocked storage cell (TPDICE). Most up-to-date single event double-upset (SEDU) tolerant latches are carried out with too large cost penalties. The proposed one saves up to 93.32% area-powerdelay product (APDP) compared with one up-to-date SEDU tolerant latch and even saves 36.36% APDP compared with only single event upset (SEU) tolerant latch in the referential. Simulation results have verified SEU and SEDU tolerance of the proposed latch.
