Abstract: Transient faults in future ICs turns to be a major consideration as the silicon process scales down. In this paper we propose a new soft error detecting technique with low area overhead, high detection speed and negligible performance penalty on the functional circuit under check. Among the already known techniques for soft error detection in logic circuits the proposed technique is the only one that is based on current monitoring.
