Abstract

Readback scrubbing is considered as an effective mechanism to correct errors in Static-RAM (SRAM)-based Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). However, current solutions have a low error correction percentage per unit area overhead. This paper proposes two new error detection/correction mechanisms that combine frame readback scrubbing with error correction codes (ECCs) that are applied in multiple directions, to achieve a high error correction percentage per unit area overhead. Experiments conducted show that the proposed schemes have an excellent error correction percentage (over 99%), especially for multi-bit upsets, while using up to 59.37% lesser area overhead compared with other state-of-the-art.
