Designs for self checking flip-flops. Kia, S. M. & Parameswaran, S. IEE Proceedings-Computers and Digital Techniques, 145(2):81-8, 1998. Copyright 1998, IEE 5895725 1350-2387 self checking flip-flops totally self checking TSC edge triggered error propagating flip-flops D flip-flop T flip-flop
abstract   bibtex   
The authors introduce two low-cost, modular, totally self checking (TSC), edge triggered and error propagating (code disjoint) flip-flops: one, a D flip-flop used in TSC and strongly fault secure (SFS) synchronous circuits with two-rail codes, the other a T flip-flop, used in a similar way as the D flip-flop but retaining the error as an indicator until the next presetting, to aid error propagation. Thus, the self checking T flip-flop can be used as an error indicator. The self checking D flip-flop is smaller than the duplicate D flip-flop circuitry by 30%. The self checking T flip-flop error indicator is 60% smaller than the pervious error indicator in the literature. These circuits, unlike previously reported circuits, can also detect stuck-at faults in the clock inputs. The authors have also presented TSC/error propagating applications for the above flip-flops: a counter and a shift register
