Soft errors are random, non-recurring change of state or transient in semiconductors due to energetic particles interacting with the silicon. As SRAM process technology scales for improved performance ...

Configuration memory is organized as an array of frames, much like a wide static RAM. In many device families, each frame is protected by error correction code (ECC ...

Should designers worry about soft errors in embedded designs? With the prevalence of higher memory densities and finer process geometries, many design teams are now evaluating techniques to alleviate ...

Shrinking geometries, one of the Holy Grails of semiconductor design, provide so many application advantages that it is totally understandable that the small is great syndrome should continue unabated ...

SAN MATEO, Calif. — Networking equipment is growing increasingly susceptible to soft errors — nonrecoverable, temporary misfires that can play havoc with things like traffic destinations — as chip and ...
