Editors' note: FPGAs have become prevalent in critical applications in which transient faults can seriously affect the circuit's operation. This article presents a fault tolerance technique for transient and permanent faults in SRAM-based FPGAs. This technique combines duplication with comparison (DWC) and concurrent error detection (CED) to provide a highly reliable circuit while maintaining hardware, pin, and power overheads far lower than with classic triple-modular-redundancy techniques. —Dimitris Gizopoulos, University of Piraeus; and Yervant Zorian, Virage Logic
