Abstract-Due to the reduction in device feature size, transient faults (soft errors) in logic circuits induced by radiations increase dramatically. Many researches have been done in modeling and analyzing the susceptibility of sequential circuit elements caused by soft errors. However, to the best knowledge of the authors, there is no work which has well considerated the feedback characteristics and the multiple clock cycles of sequential circuits. In this paper, we present a new method for evaluating the susceptibility of sequential circuit elements to soft errors. The proposed method uses four Error Propagation Probability Matrixs (EPPMs) to represent the error propagation probability of logic gates and flip-flops in current clock cycle. Based on the predefined matrix union operations, the susceptibility of circuit elements in multiple clock cycles can be evaluated. Experimental results on ISCAS'89 benchmark circuits show that our method is more accurate and efficient than previous methods.

“…Stochastic Multiplication, c=ab Also, PTM is one of the probabilistic error modeling tools which performs simultaneous computation over all possible input combinations and calculates the exact probabilities of failures, it is based on matrix representation where column indices represent input values and row indices represent output values. For an example, PTM for a standard NOR gate is shown in (3) where p represents probability for incorrect output value [6].…”

Stochastic computing is a new alternative approach to conventional real arithmetic. Stochastic computation has been considered for different applications such as implementation of real-time motor controller and Error control coding and artificial neural networks. We have shown how to construct classic gates using probabilistic equations. In this paper, we focus on several logic circuits based on Probabilistic Transfer Matrix (PTM). In addition, this paper provides a survey of stochastic logic circuits with generating arbitrary probabilities. Also, we demonstrate PTMs is a methodology for representing probabilistic behaviour in logic circuits. In addition, our purpose has been to study the applicability of PTM in logic circuits. Results demonstrate that different kinds of logic circuits architecture can be verified with PTM methodology.
