Abstract :
A prototype of the “Channel chip” of the FERMI microsystem has been designed and fabricated (version 1, 1994), being currently under test (1995-96). Future implementations (version 11, 1996) require a structural refinement and a reduction of dimension of the chip. These modifications require in turn a redistribution and a redesign of the implemented fault tolerance features. In this paper guide-lines for this task are presented and a proposal is discussed
