Efficient method to detect and correct errors caused by radiation on digital filters

Abstract

University Carlos III of Madrid in collaboration with University Antonio de Nebrija has developed a technique to protect digital filter implementations, frequently used in communications and signal processing against the errors caused by radiation. This solution provides both an effective protection against radiation and a competitive implementation cost in terms or area and power, those results in substantial cost savings when compared with traditional techniques such as Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR).
