The purpose of TAFT fault tolerance studies conducted at CNES is to prepare the space community for the significant evolution linked to the usage of COTS components for developing spacecraft supercomputers. CNES has patented the DMT and DT2 fault-tolerant architectures with 'light' features. The development of a DMT/DT2 testbench based on a PowerPC7448 microprocessor from e2v is presented in this...
Dependability is an important system attribute for microfluidic lab-on-chip devices. On-line testing offers a promising method for detecting defects, fluidic abnormalities, and bioassay malfunctions during chip operation. However, previous techniques for reading test outcomes and analyzing pulse sequences are cumbersome, sensitive to the calibration of capacitive sensors, and error-prone. We present...
In this paper, we present a new technique to improve the reliability of H-tree SRAM memories. This technique deals with the SRAM power-bus monitoring by using built-in current sensor (BICS) circuits that detect abnormal current dissipation in the memory power-bus. This abnormal current is the result of a single-event upset (SEU) in the memory and it is generated during the inversion of the state of...
In deep submicron era, to prevent larger amount of SRAM from more frequently encountered overheating problems and react accordingly for each possible hotspots, multiple ideal run-time temperature sensors must be closely located and response rapidly to secure system reliability while maintaining core frequency. This paper presented a method to extract run-time temperature information from multiple...
