Description
Summary:Downscaling threatens the designers invested in integrity and error mitigation against soft errors. This study formulated the probability of soft error changing the logic state of a Differential Logic with an Inverter Latch (DIL). Using Cadence Virtuoso, current pulses were injected into various nodes in stages until a logic flip was instigated. The voltage and temperature parameters were increased to observe the current level changes over time. The critical charge from each stage was obtained, and a method to formulate the probability of each instance was developed. The voltage produced a higher effect of the change to the critical charge of any instance as compared to temperature. The findings revealed that the N-channel metal-oxide semiconductor (NMOS) drain is more vulnerable to temperature and voltage variation than P-channel metal-oxide semiconductor (PMOS).
