Contract: F30602-81-C-0169
DoD Project: 2338
DoD Task: 233801
Identifier: ADA208337
Abstract:
Very Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) provides the opportunity to design fault tolerant, self-checking circuits with on-chip, concurrent error correction. This study determines the applicability of a variety of error-detecting, error-correcting codes (EDAC) in high speed digital data processors and buses. In considering both microcircuit faults and bus faults, some of the codes examined are: Berger, repetition, parity, residue, and Modified Reflected Binary codes. The report describes the improvement in fault tolerance obtained as a result of implementing these EDAC schemes and the associated penalties in circuit area.
