Soft Error Mitigation (SEM) Core

Soft Error Mitigation (SEM) IP cores perform SEU detection, correction, and classification for configuration memory.

Overview

Soft Error Mitigation (SEM) IP cores perform SEU detection, correction, and classification for configuration memory. The cores utilize device primitives such as ICAP and FRAME_ECC to clock and observe the Readback CRC feature as part of the SEU detection function. For SEU correction, the IP cores perform the necessary operations to locate and correct errors. For SEU classification, the IP cores use Xilinx Essential Bits technology to further increase system availability.

The SEM IP cores also perform emulation of SEUs by injecting errors into configuration memory. The error injection feature provides a means to evaluate and test the SEU mitigation capabilities of the IP cores without the need for expensive test time at a radiation effects facility.

Resilience in Space: Designing Radiation-Tolerant Systems

Space is easily the most challenging environment for IC designers. Without Earth’s atmosphere to protect them, electronic systems are vulnerable to high-energy (ionizing) radiation including alpha and beta particles, gamma and x-rays as well as galactic cosmic radiation.
