Area Optimized Quasi Delay Insensitive Majority Voter for TMR Applications
P Balasubramanian, D L Maskell, N E Mastorakis
Mission-critical and safety-critical applications generally tend to incorporate triple modular redundancy (TMR) to embed fault tolerance in their physical implementations. In a TMR…
Indicating Asynchronous Multipliers
P Balasubramanian, D L Maskell, N E Mastorakis
Multiplication is a basic arithmetic operation that is encountered in almost all general-purpose microprocessing and digital signal processing applications, and multiplication is p…
Speed and Energy Optimised Quasi-Delay-Insensitive Block Carry Lookahead Adder
P. Balasubramanian, D. L. Maskell, N. E. Mastorakis
We present a new asynchronous quasi-delay-insensitive (QDI) block carry lookahead adder with redundancy carry (BCLARC) realized using delay-insensitive dual-rail data encoding and…
Majority and Minority Voted Redundancy for Safety-Critical Applications
P Balasubramanian, D L Maskell, N E Mastorakis
A new majority and minority voted redundancy (MMR) scheme is proposed that can provide the same degree of fault tolerance as N-modular redundancy (NMR) but with fewer function unit…
Asynchronous Early Output Block Carry Lookahead Adder with Improved Quality of Results
P Balasubramanian, D L Maskell, N E Mastorakis
A new asynchronous early output block carry lookahead adder (BCLA) incorporating redundant carries is proposed. Compared to the best of existing semi-custom asynchronous carry look…
FPGA Based Implementation of Distributed Minority and Majority Voting Based Redundancy for Mission and Safety-Critical Applications
P Balasubramanian, N E Mastorakis
Electronic circuits and systems used in mission and safety-critical applications usually employ redundancy in the design to overcome arbitrary fault(s) or failure(s) and guarantee…
System Reliability, Fault Tolerance and Design Metrics Tradeoffs in the Distributed Minority and Majority Voting Based Redundancy Scheme
P Balasubramanian
The distributed minority and majority voting based redundancy (DMMR) scheme was recently proposed as an efficient alternative to the conventional N-modular redundancy (NMR) scheme…
Design of Synchronous Section-Carry Based Carry Lookahead Adders with Improved Figure of Merit
P Balasubramanian
The section-carry based carry lookahead adder (SCBCLA) architecture was proposed as an efficient alternative to the conventional carry lookahead adder (CCLA) architecture for the p…
A Fault Tolerance Improved Majority Voter for TMR System Architectures
P Balasubramanian, K Prasad
For digital system designs, triple modular redundancy (TMR), which is a 3-tuple version of N-modular redundancy is widely preferred for many mission-control and safety-critical app…
An Asynchronous Early Output Full Adder and a Relative-Timed Ripple Carry Adder
P Balasubramanian
This article presents the design of a new asynchronous early output full adder which when cascaded leads to a relative-timed ripple carry adder (RCA). The relative-timed RCA requir…
Power, Delay and Area Comparisons of Majority Voters relevant to TMR Architectures
P Balasubramanian, N E Mastorakis
N-modular redundancy (NMR) is commonly used to enhance the fault tolerance of a circuit/system, when subject to a fault-inducing environment such as in space or military systems, w…
Global versus Local Weak-Indication Self-Timed Function Blocks - A Comparative Analysis
P Balasubramanian, N E Mastorakis
This paper analyzes the merits and demerits of global weak-indication self-timed function blocks versus local weak-indication self-timed function blocks, implemented using a delay-…
ASIC-based Implementation of Synchronous Section-Carry Based Carry Lookahead Adders
P Balasubramanian, N E Mastorakis
The section-carry based carry lookahead adder (SCBCLA) topology was proposed as an improved high-speed alternative to the conventional carry lookahead adder (CCLA) topology in prev…
