    Abstract

    This paper presents a novel dual-interlocked storage-cell (DICE)-based double-node-upset (DNU) self-recoverable, namely DURI-FF, in the nano-scale CMOS technology. The master latch of the DURI-FF cell consists of three transmission gates (TGs) and three interlocked DICEs with three common nodes. The common nodes are connected to TGs for value initialization. The slave latch of the DURI-FF cell comprises six TGs, six inverters and three interlocked DICEs. The outputs of the inverters respectively feed the internal nodes of the slave latch. The interlocked DICEs make the master latch and the slave latch DNU self-recoverable. Simulation results validate the DNU self-recoverability of the proposed DURI-FF cell. Moreover, compared with the state-of-the-art hardened flip-flop cells, the proposed DURI-FF cell achieves roughly 43% delay reduction at the cost of moderate silicon area and power dissipation.
