Efficient realization of a threshold voter for self-purging redundancy

The self-purging technique is not commonly used mainly due to the lack of practical implementations of its key component, the threshold voter. A very efficient implementation of this voter is presented which uses a decomposition technique to substantially reduce the circuit complexity and delay, as...

Description
Summary:The self-purging technique is not commonly used mainly due to the lack of practical implementations of its key component, the threshold voter. A very efficient implementation of this voter is presented which uses a decomposition technique to substantially reduce the circuit complexity and delay, as compared to alternative implementations.
