Abstract(in English) As modern technology nodes become more and more susceptible to soft-errors, many radiation hardened latch designs have been proposed for reliable LSI designs. Production defects in such hardened latches are difficult to detect with conventional scan testing. In our previous work, we proposed a scan-test-aware hardened latch (STAHL) design which can tolerate soft-errors and has high defect coverage. However, STAHL has higher power and delay overhead than other hardened latches in the literature. In this paper, we propose a novel high performance and scan-test-aware hardened latch (HP-STAHL). Simulation results show that HP-STAHL provides for the first time the same benefits as STAHL in terms of soft-error tolerance and testability. HP-STAHL has lower delay and power delay product (PDP) than a standard latch, which shows that HP-STAHL has high performance.
