Abstract(in English) As the advance in semiconductor technology, the issue of soft errors, which are transient glitches caused by particle strikes and high-energy cosmic rays, increases. In general, soft errors in today's high-speed VLSIs occur during multi-cycles, so that the VLSI system tolerable to the multi-cycle soft errors are required. In this paper, we discuss high-level synthesis for fault-tolerant datapaths to multi-cycle soft errors. For triple module redundant datapaths, we clarify the condition of functional unit binding such that the multi-cycle errors in the synthesized datapaths are detectable and correctable. Based on this condition, we present a functional unit binding method for the datapaths that can correct multi-cycle soft errors. Applications to some datapaths show that the proposed binding method can synthesize multi-cycle tolerant datapaths with small resources.
