Design and Implementation of Fault Resilience Strategies for Enhanced Digital System Performance

Shreya Kulkarni, K B Ramesh

Abstract


This research paper delves into diverse methodologies and insights aimed at optimizing sequential circuits for enhanced performance and reliability in digital systems Safety-critical systems used in applications that require high reliability, performance, and fault tolerance often use sequential logic circuits in their design and implementation. A safety-critical digital system typically uses latches, flip-flops, and other memory elements that are sensitive to the effects of natural failures and radiation-induced single event disturbances (SEU). Defects can cause subsystem failure due to the continuous progress in implementing the small size transistors. To develop a reliable digital system, it is important to develop new fault tolerance techniques that are integrated into the design of the sequential logic circuits. This work proposes a new fault-tolerant approach based on the redundancy of a sequential logic circuit consisting of several -shaped components, D-flip-flops storage elements connected to a fault injection device, two-module aggregation, and data. Switching circuit controls. Finally, we believe that using this new failover and redundancy would improve the reliability and dependability of the next generation safety critical applications.
