    摘要: A latch having increased soft error rate tolerance includes cross-coupled inverters having transistors with varying sizes. Diffusion regions of transistors coupled to storage nodes are kept small to reduce the effect of charge accumulation resulting from particles bombarding the bulk of an integrated circuit die. Transistors having gates coupled to the storage nodes are increased in size to increase the capacitance on the storage nodes. The reduced size of diffusion regions and increased size of gates on storage nodes combine to reduce the effects of accumulated charge. Diffusion region area is further reduced by reducing the size of pass gates that load normal data and scan data. A large capacitor is coupled to a feedback node within the cross-coupled inverters to further reduce the effect of accumulated charge.

    摘要: A hardened latch capable of providing protection against single event upsets (SEUs) is disclosed. The hardened latch includes a first latch and a second latch that mirrors a subset of gates of the first latch. The second latch is inserted in the feedback path of the keeper circuit of the first latch and is cross-coupled with the gates of the keeper circuit of the first latch. The latch is hardened against single event upsets and an arbitrary number of successive SEUs attacking a single node, provided that the time between successive SEUs is larger than the recovery time of the latch. An alternate embodiment of the hardened latch includes a split buffer output. This embodiment is capable of reducing the propagation of erroneous transients. Another alternate embodiment of the hardened latch includes a Miller C buffer output. This embodiment is capable of reducing the propagation of erroneous transients below the level achievable in a hardened latch employing a split buffer output.
