Abstract

This paper presents the development methodology, circuit realization and measurement of a cryptographic core intended to operate reliably in the presence of massive defect density. A circuit-level voter based on averaging and thresholding has been implemented, and is measured to offer superior reliability in comparison with standard techniques.

Keywords: Fault-tolerant architecture high defect density reliability of submicron and nanoelectronic systems.
