Title :
A VLSI median-select voter for fault tolerant signal processing applications
Abstract :
A hardware voter that selects the median of the three inputs to the voter as the output is proposed. This median-select voter has been designed and implemented using the latest n-MOS technology. Extensive circuit simulation using MOSSIM and SPICE have been successfully carried out to verify the logic and time response of the chip designed. The IC will be useful for specific signal processing applications
