Abstract: A micro-pipeline type asynchronous circuit and a method for detecting and correcting soft error. The asynchronous circuit records in a first recording unit a signal output by a calculation unit and then records in a second recording unit the same signal delayed by at least the duration of the pulse of a soft error. The recorded signals then are compared in a comparer circuit. If they are identical, no soft error has been detected and the output signal is recorded after another delay that is longer than the pulse duration of the soft error, and a request signal is transmitted to a control unit of a next logic stage with a delay twice as long as the pulse duration of a soft error.
