In the field of high-performance communication memory devices, it is critical for designs to be immune to soft errors or single-event upsets. During the SER (soft-error-rate) session of the 2003 IRPS ...

Hi,<BR><BR>I have a Linux MD RAID 5 array formed out of five Western Digital SATA drives connected to two Promise TX4 SATA controllers (four drives on one controller, one drive on the other). On top ...

So, how much energy are you willing to expend to be accurate? The question is one that chip designers face more often than they probably realize. The first question really is, ‘How accurate do you ...

The configuration memory of SRAM-based space-grade FPGAs can be susceptible to single-event upsets (SEUs) and a soft error may or may not impact device functionality ...
