摘要
As technology node entered the era of nanotechnology, a latch is much more susceptible to soft errors caused by energetic particles in space radiation environment. In order to enhance the Single Event Upset (SEU)-tolerance capability of a latch, this paper presents an interlocking soft error hardened latch (ISEHL) which is suitable for low-power circuits. The proposed latch is based on three C-elements which are errors tolerable, and the logic state of each C-element is determined by the output state of two other C-elements, which constitute an interlocking soft error hardened latch. The simulation results show that the proposed ISEHL latch can not only be applied to clock-gating circuits but also perform with 41% power as well as 95% Power Delay Product (PDP) saving as comparing with the FERST latch which performs an equivalent superior SEU-tolerance ability.
