Problem
Digital circuits are susceptible to soft errors caused by environmental factors like electromagnetic interference and radiation, leading to runtime instability and potential system failure. Traditional fault-tolerance methods often involve software-based checks that consume additional power and processing resources.
Solution
Green IP Core develops self-correcting semiconductor IP cores that provide runtime fault detection and correction at the logic level, ensuring continuous operation without performance degradation. Their technology embeds fault detection, management, and correction circuits directly within the logic, enabling real-time correction of transient faults caused by power glitches, EMI, or radiation. This hardware-based approach enhances the reliability and stability of chips in harsh environments, eliminating the need for bulky software routines and reducing overall power consumption. The IP cores are designed to be technology-independent and compatible with standard FPGA, CPLD, and ASIC platforms.
Target Audience
The primary customers are semiconductor manufacturers and system designers in the automotive, aerospace, defense, industrial IoT, and consumer electronics sectors who require high-reliability solutions for harsh operating environments.
