The invention is directed to a self-correcting modular-redundancy-memory device, comprising three bistable-memory elements and a majority voter. The bistable-memory elements receive respective binary data signal, clock signal, and a feedback signal. Each of the bistable-memory elements is configured, in response to the clock signal assuming a first value, to provide a binary output signal with an output-signal value correlated to a data-signal value of the data signal, and in response to the clock signal assuming a second clock-signal value, to provide the output signal with the output-signal value indicative of a current feedback-signal value of the feedback signal. The majority voter receives the output signals each of the bistable-memory elements and is configured to provide the feedback signal with the feedback-signal value indicative of that output-signal value taken on by a majority of the currently received output signals.
