Self-checking voter for high speed TMR systems

In this paper we address the problem of faults possibly affecting voters of TMR systems and making them provide incorrect majority data, thus making the adoption of the TMR technique useless. We consequently instantiate the need for self-checking voting schemes and propose a new CMOS self-checking v...

Summary:In this paper we address the problem of faults possibly affecting voters of TMR systems and making them provide incorrect majority data, thus making the adoption of the TMR technique useless. We consequently instantiate the need for self-checking voting schemes and propose a new CMOS self-checking voter that, compared to alternate self-checking solutions, features the advantage of being faster, while requiring comparable power consumption and a small increase in area overhead.
