Abstract A radiation-hardened latch is a high-reliability latch designed to protect stored data from single-node-upsets (SNUs) and multiple-node-upsets (MNUs) that may occur in radiation environments. With the continuous scaling of CMOS technology, the likelihood of MNUs has increased, and several complete quadruple-node-upset (QNU) recoverable latches have been proposed; however, existing latches do not guarantee complete recovery from quintuple-node-upset (QtNU). This paper proposes a latch that can self-recover from any QNU while providing enhanced QtNU self-recoverability, and analyzes its QNU and QtNU self-recoverability.
