Staggered Voting for TMR Shift Register Chains in Poly-Si TFT-LCDs

This paper presents the idea of staggered voting for the efficient TMR implementation of shift register chains for improving the yield of Poly-Si TFT-LCD driving circuits. The paper discusses the characteristic features of staggered voting and performs a quantitative evaluation of its effectiveness. Staggered voting allows us to improve the reliability of a single-voter TMR chain significantly when the probability of a voter failure is not negligible.
