A hybrid system is a complex system which consists of continuous and discrete dynamics, and it displays discrete behaviors, in addition to continuous behaviors. Due to mode changes in a hybrid system, the employment of constant threshold will cause false alarm or missed detection. The cause is that mode changes lead to different composition of component uncertainties. In this paper, in view of component...
A hybrid system combines continuous and discrete dynamics and runs with a set of modes. In we proposed an efficient health monitoring method for hybrid systems. This method utilizes unified constraint relations, named the global analytical redundancy relations (GARRs). Using GARRs for hybrid system health monitoring requires knowledge of the system's mode which is provided by a mode tracker. GARRs...
Cryptographic devices are recently implemented with different countermeasures against side channel attacks and fault analysis. Moreover, some usual testing techniques, such as scan chains, are not allowed or restricted for security requirements. In this paper, we analyze the impact that error detecting schemes have on the testability of an implementation of the advanced encryption standard, in particular...
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...
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...
In this paper we present a low cost fault-tolerant attitude determination system to a scientific satellite using COTS devices. We related our experience in developing the attitude determination system, where we combine proven fault tolerance techniques to protect the whole system composed only by COTS from the effects produced by transient faults. We detailed the failure cases and the detection, reconfiguration...
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...
