Abstract(in English) Since electric devices for space applications are likely to experience radiation induced errors, such as the Single Event Effects, they must be designed to protect against faults. In addition, it is difficult to replace or fix faulty units in space. For that reason, autonomous detection and recovery mechanism is required. This paper presents a fault-tolerant FPGA(Field-Programmable Gate Array)architecture that requires little additional hardware. We incorporate the RM(Recovery Manager)into the FPGA's user logic, which means no special hard-wired logic is required for calculating configuration data. The area overhead is so small in our approach that we can devise FPGAs that are useful for both normal and critical operations.
