18th IEEE International Symposium on Defect and Fault Tolerance in VLSI Systems (DFT'03) Heterogeneous Redundancy for Fault and Defect Tolerance with Complexity Independent Area Overhead Boston, Massachusetts November 03-November 05 ISBN: 0-7695-2042-1
The continuous increase in digital system complexity is raising the area cost of redundancy-based fault and defect tolerance. This paper introduces a technique for heterogeneous redundancy in control path and datapath circuitry that provides high reliability with area overhead that is independent of system complexity. Small amounts of circuit-specific reconfigurable logic are finely integrated with fixed-logic circuitry to provide fine-grained heterogeneous fault and defect tolerance. Results reveal that the technique is effective for a variety of circuits, providing high reliability with a constant magnitude area overhead that is independent of system complexity.
