Abstract:
Lockstep comparators and related methods are described. An example apparatus includes self-test logic circuitry having first outputs, and comparator logic including selection logic having first inputs and second outputs, ones of the first inputs coupled to the first outputs, first detection logic having second inputs and third outputs, the second inputs coupled to the second outputs, second detection logic having third inputs and fourth outputs, the third inputs coupled to the third outputs, latch logic having fifth inputs and fifth outputs, the third output and the fourth output coupled to the fifth inputs, and error detection logic having sixth inputs coupled to the fifth inputs.
