Abstract
Single event upset along with the technology scaling decreases the reliability of the present CMOS circuits. It has recently been shown that the clock distribution network is becoming increasingly vulnerable to single event upset. In this paper a new technique is proposed, that can eliminate more than 90% of SEU in clock distribution network. The proposed technique incurs minimal area overhead and requires negligible design effort.
