Asynchronous digital circuits working in military and space environments are often subject to the adverse effects of radiation faults. In this paper, we propose a new hardening technique against radiation faults. The considered digital system has the structure of DMR (Double Modular Redundancy), in which two sub-systems conduct the same work simultaneously. Based on the output feedback, the proposed scheme diagnoses occurrences of radiation faults and realizes immediate recovery to the normal behavior by overriding parts of memory bits of the faulty sub-system. As a case study, the proposed control scheme is applied to an asynchronous dual ring counter implemented in VHDL code.

Fault-tolerant system in improved the reliability and safety by using hardware and software redundancy. Fault mask and detection, identification techniques are conditionally used with system's application areas. Here DMR system is operated with standby and fail-safe module method that has minimal hardware and software redundancy, then its reliablity and safety comparison is presented respectively. Also this paper proposed an effective methods of dealing with transient faults as compared system's MTTFs to transient faults tolerance capabilities of self-diagnosis program.

살아있는 세포는 세포의 주기에 따라 생성되거나 사멸되는 과정을 반복하게 된다. 이 기간 동안 오류가 발생하면 세포가 생명을 유지하기 위해서는 주변 세포에서 오류가 부분을 찾아서 그 세포를 사멸시킬 수 있는 과정을 거치게 된다. 이런 세포 기능을 모사하여 회로 시스템에 적용하였다. 회로가 기능을 유지하다가 오류가 발생하였는지 확인하기 위해서는 DMR(Double Modular Redundancy)로 구현된 회로에 의해서 위치를 파악하고 빠르게 복구할 수 있도록 같은 회로를 구현하였다. 본 연구에서는 카운터를 구현하였으며 임의의 부분에 오류가 발생하도록 회로를 구성, 오류위치를 찾고 정상적으로 동작할 수 있도록 하였다.

Living cells generate the cell cycle or apoptosis, depending on the course will be repeated. If an error occurs during this period of life in order to maintain the cells in the peripheral cells find the error portion. These cellular functions were applied to the system to simulate the circuit. Circuit implementation of the present study was constructed the redundant structure in order to found the error quickly. Self-repairing of digital systems as an advanced form of fault-tolerance has been increasingly receiving attention according as digital systems have been more and more complex and speed-up especially for urgent systems or those working on extreme environments such as deep sea and outer space. Simulating the process of cell differentiation algorithm was confirmed by the FPGA on the counter circuit. If an error occurs on the circuit where the error was quickly locate and repair. In this paper, we propose a novel self-repair architecture for fast and robust fault-recovery that can easily apply to real, complex digital systems. These Self-Repairing Algorithms make it possible for the application digital systems to be alive even though in very noisy and extreme environments.
