Present and future semiconductor technologies are characterized by increasing parameters variations as well as an increasing susceptibility to external disturbances. Transient errors during system operation are no longer restricted to memories but also affect random logic, and a robust design becomes mandatory to ensure a reliable system operation. Self-checking circuits rely on redundancy to detect...
In many DSP applications (image and voice processing, baseband symbol decoding in high quality communication channels) several dBs of SNR loss can be tolerated without noticeable impact on system level performance. For power optimization in such applications, voltage overscaling can be used to operate the arithmetic circuitry slower than the critical circuit path delay while incurring tolerable SNR...
Networks on chips (NoCs) provide a mechanism for handling complex communications in the next generation of integrated circuits. At the same time, lower yield in nano-technology, makes self repair communication channels a necessity in design of digital systems. This paper proposes a reliable NoC architecture based on specific application mapped onto an NoC. This architecture is capable of recovering...
Soft errors induced by cosmic radiation have become an urgent issue for ultra-deep-sub-micron (UDSM) technologies. In this paper, we propose a new radiation hardened by design latch (RHBDL). RHBDL can improve robustness by masking the soft errors induced by SEU and SET. We evaluate the propagation delay, power dissipation and power delay product of RHBDL using SPICE simulations. Compared with existing...
Transient faults have become increasingly observable in combinational logic. This is due to the weakening of some inherent protective mechanisms that logic traditionally holds against such flawed spurious events. One of the aforementioned mechanisms relates to the propagation of transient faults along sensitizable paths. Existing literature that relies on logic simulation under estimates the number...
Base on multi-resolution characteristic of wavelet transformation, a dynamic reconstruction method of image pyramids for remote sensing imagery is proposed in this paper. The method can solve the data redundant problems caused by traditional reconstruction methods, for which the correlation characteristic of the data between different pyramid layers is not used. It can effectively reduce the amount...
A principal factor in sensor network design is energy efficiency. In this work, we propose to extend the lifetime of sensor networks using appropriate choice of sensor node distribution. The key idea of our scheme is to deploy more nodes in areas of extensive energy usage. Using this scheme of sensor node distribution, we use probabilistic angular routing to route data packets from the sensor nodes...
