Abstract :
The design of a microprogram sequencer with concurrent error detection is described. The error detection scheme involves generation of signatures based on past and present sequencer outputs; these signatures are compared frequently against expected values. Software tools for signature assignment are described. Testing results using prototype parts are summarized
