Abstract

An efficient and novel technique for computing timing vulnerability factors (TVF) in modern complex synchronous designs is introduced, where all key inputs are based on static timing data readily available in most design databases. The benefits of TVF for modern microprocessors and strategies to reduce TVF, and hence the overall soft error rate (SER), are presented.
