Trading off transient fault tolerance and power consumption in deep submicron (DSM) VLSI circuits.

High fault tolerance for transient faults and low-power consumption are key objectives in the design of critical embedded systems. Systems like smart cards, PDAs, wearable computers, pacemakers, defibrillators, and other electronic gadgets must not only be designed for fault tolerance but also for u...
