Single-Event Double-Upset Self-Recoverable and Single-Event Transient Pulse Filterable Latch Design for Low Power Applications

This paper presents a single-event double-upset (SEDU) self-recoverable and single-event transient (SET) pulse filterable latch design for low power applications in 22nm CMOS technology. The latch mainly consists of eight mutually feeding back C-elements and a Schmitt trigger. Simulation results have demonstrated both the SEDU self-recoverability and SET pulse filterability for the latch using redundant silicon area. Using clock gating technology, the latch saves about 54.85% power dissipation on average compared with the up-to-date SEDU self-recoverable latch designs which are not SET pulse filterable at all.
