Abstract :
This paper presents a bit-flip tolerance in SRAM-based FPGAs which suffers from high energy particles, alpha and neutrons in the atmosphere. For each of protections, the applicability, efficiency and implementation issues are discussed. Moreover, the area, the power and the protection capability of the methods are mentioned and compared with previous work. Based on the results of experiments and their analysis, one method is selected as best one. The selected method is much better than previous work e.g., duplication with comparison, triple modular redundancy which impose two and three area and power overheads, respectively.
