A synchronous digital signal capture system includes a first flip-flop and a synchronization module. The first flip-flop receives a logic control signal and a first clock signal having a first frequency. The first flip-flop is configured to output a synchronized data signal based on the logic control, and generate a synchronous reset signal that is a logic inverse of the synchronized data signal generated at the data output. The synchronization module receives a primary data signal and is configured to generate the logic control signal based on the primary input signal, a second clock signal, and the synchronous reset signal such that the first flip-flop generates the synchronized signal.

Synchronous input signal capture system

An error detection and correction (EDAC) circuit mitigates the effect of single event upsets (SEU) events in a redundant memory system. The EDAC circuit includes a first input for receiving first data and parity information stored by a first memory device and a second input for receiving second data and parity information stored by a second memory device. First parity check logic calculates parity for the received first data and parity information. Second parity check logic calculates parity for the received second data and parity information. Bit comparison logic detects differences between the first data and the second data, and between the first parity information and the second parity information. Based on the parity check calculated for the first and second data, and the bit comparison, data select logic selects either the first data or the second data for provision to a data bus.
