This paper describes soft errors which are errors in LSI that are due to external radiation.The soft error rate (SER) which means probability of invalid outputs per unit time is one of the estimetion measures for soft error tolerance of LSI.
Logic level estimation method by the fault simulation can strict SER estimation technique.But If worst comes to worst, it costs time that is proportional to the square of scale of the circuit.
The proposed technique can fast SER estimation by omission of logic level simulation in arithmetic units.If we know the input values of arithmetic units, we can calculate the output values of them at high speed by arithmetic operation.When error occured in arithmetic units, the proposed technique uses probabilistic medel about the error propagation to the output of them.The model generates output values of them artifically.The proposed technique aims at the speed-up of the SER estimation by using the model.
Experimental result shows that the proposed technique can estimate about four times as fast as existing technique although the accuracy hardly falls. |
