An apparatus is described having a latch circuit. The latch circuit includes redundant data inputs, redundant data outputs, redundant clock inputs and circuitry to self-correct a soft-error.

Latch with redundancy and circuitry to protect against a soft error

Described is a processor comprising: a plurality of radiation detectors; a first logic unit to receive outputs from the plurality of radiation detectors, the logic unit to generate an output according to the received outputs, the output of the first logic unit indicating whether the processor was exposed to incoming radiations; and a second logic unit to receive the output from the first logic unit, and to cause the processor to perform an action according to the output from the first logic unit.

High dose radiation detector

A latch is provided that includes a first inverter, a second inverter, a first latch circuit and a second latch circuit. The first inverter to receive the first clock signal from an input port and to provide a clock signal. The second inverter to receive the first clock signal from the input port and to provide a clock signal. The first latch circuit is to store data and to receive a clock signal from the second inverter. The second latch circuit is further to store data and to receive a clock signal from the first inverter.

Soft error rate hardened latch

Various embodiments include a latch having a node to receive input information, and a first pseudo-inverter with a first input node, a second input node, and an output node to generate output information based on information at the first and second input nodes. The latch may have a feedback circuit to generate feedback information based on at least the output information. The latch may also have a select circuit to selectively transfer the input information and the feedback information to the first and second input nodes. Other embodiments including additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
