Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of integrated circuit design, in particular to a latch. Background Art
[0002] In integrated circuit design, when particles hit microelectronic devices, the most sensitive area is usually the reverse biased PN junction. This is because the high field in the reverse biased junction depletion region can very effectively collect particle induced charges through the drift process, thereby generating a transient current at the junction contact. Taking a CMOS inverter as an example, when the output is 1, the drain of the N-type transistor is a sensitive area. When hit by a particle, it will collect negative charges, forming a transient current, and a voltage jump from 1 to 0 will occur at the inverter output. Similarly, when the output is 0, the drain of the P-type transistor is a sensitive area. When hit by a particle, it will collect positive charges, forming a transient current, and a voltage jump from 0 to 1 will occur at the inverter output. In the field of radiation-resistant circuit design, in order to improve the radiation resistance of the circuit and reduce the possibility of errors after the circuit is hit by particles, it is a common method to use design methods for radiation hardening (RHBD, Radiation Hardened By Design) to improve the radiation resistance of the circuit and reduce the possibility of errors after the circuit is hit by particles.
[0003] Existing technical means can only resist the impact of particles on a single storage node in the circuit, and the potential of the impacted storage node will be reversed and then restored to the original potential, but it cannot resist the impact of particles on multiple storage nodes, and cannot restore multiple nodes to their original levels, resulting in a high error rate of the level output of the circuit after multiple storage nodes in the latch circuit are impacted by particles, which limits the development of microelectronic devices.
[0004] Based on this, in order to reduce the error rate of the circuit after multiple storage nodes in the storage structure are hit by a single particle, it is urgently necessary to design a latch circuit that can resist particle impacts on multiple storage nodes and recover to the original level, thereby improving the accuracy of the circuit output level and solving the problem of high circuit output level error rate caused by particle impacts on multiple storage nodes in the latch circuit in the prior art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0037] In order to clearly describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, in the embodiments of the present invention, words such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish the same items or similar items with basically the same functions and effects. For example, the first threshold and the second threshold are only used to distinguish different thresholds, and their order is not limited. Those skilled in the art can understand that words such as "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity and execution order, and words such as "first" and "second" do not necessarily limit them to be different.
[0038] It should be noted that, in the present invention, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the present invention should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.
[0039] In the present invention, "at least one" means one or more, and "plurality" means two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects in the previous time are in an "or" relationship. "At least one of the following items" or similar expressions refers to any combination of these items, including any combination of single items or plural items. For example, at least one of a, b or c can mean: a, b, c, the combination of a and b, the combination of a and c, the combination of b and c, or the combination of a, b and c, where a, b, c can be single or multiple.
[0040] There are two types of latches in the prior art that resist particle flipping. When a single storage node in the latch structure is hit by a particle, the potential of the hit storage node will return to its original potential after flipping. However, if multiple storage nodes in the latch structure are hit by particles, the potential of the hit storage node cannot be flipped back to its original potential. Both of them have the problem of a high error rate of the circuit output level after multiple storage nodes are hit by particles.
[0041] See also Figure 1 to Figure 2 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a storage structure of a double interlocking storage unit structure in the prior art; Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the storage structure of the Nwise structure in the prior art.
[0042] Figure 1The storage structure shown is a dual interlocked storage cell structure (DICE), which can achieve that when a single storage node is hit by particles, the potential of the hit storage node will recover to its original potential after flipping; if multiple storage nodes are hit by particles, the storage nodes in the DICE structure may not be able to recover to their original potential.
[0043] Figure 2 The storage structure shown is an Nwise structure, in which two storage nodes are only connected to the drain of the N-type transistor. Since the drain of the N-type transistor will collect negative charges when hit by particles, only a voltage jump of 1→0 will occur. When the potential of the two storage nodes is 0, the potential will not be reversed even if hit by particles; however, when the potential of the two storage nodes is 1, the potential will be reversed when hit by particles. Therefore, even if only a single storage node is hit by particles, errors may occur in the Nwise structure.
[0044] In view of this, in order to solve the problem that the error rate of the circuit output level is high after the multiple storage nodes of the latch circuit are hit by particles, the present invention provides a latch, which is used to generate an anti-signal of the corresponding level of the target node using a storage module when a particle collision occurs at the target node; thereby improving the accuracy of the circuit output level after multiple storage nodes are hit by particles at the same time.
[0045] Next, the technical solution of the present invention is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0046] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the main structure of a latch provided by the present invention.

[0049] The latch 300 is used for generating an inverse signal of a level corresponding to the target node by using the storage module 330 when a particle collision occurs at the target node.
[0050] Based on this, the present invention provides a latch having a storage module with a novel storage structure, which utilizes the storage module to ensure that nodes with storage information of 0 will not jump even if they receive a particle impact voltage; for nodes with storage information of 1, after being impacted by particles, based on the circuit structure of the novel storage structure, the nodes with storage information of 1 that are impacted by particles will eventually still be output as a high level, that is, after being impacted by particles, the potential of the nodes with storage information of 1 will flip from 1 to 0 and then return to 1, and then be output again; the accuracy of the circuit output level after multiple storage nodes in the latch are simultaneously impacted by particles is improved, and the error rate of the circuit output level after multiple storage nodes are simultaneously impacted by particles is significantly reduced.
[0051] Please continue reading Figure 3 ,exist Figure 3 The storage module shown in is a storage module with a novel storage structure designed by the present invention; the storage module 330 may include: a first NMOS tube, a second NMOS tube, a third NMOS tube and a fourth NMOS tube.
[0052] Specifically, the drain of the first NMOS tube can be connected to the power supply terminal, the gate of the first NMOS tube can be connected to the second terminal, and the source of the first NMOS tube can be connected to the first terminal; the drain of the second NMOS tube can be connected to the first terminal, the gate of the second NMOS tube can be connected to the third terminal, and the source of the second NMOS tube can be grounded; the drain of the third NMOS tube can be connected to the power supply terminal, the gate of the third NMOS tube can be connected to the first terminal, and the source of the third NMOS tube can be connected to the second terminal; the drain of the fourth NMOS tube can be connected to the second terminal, the gate of the fourth NMOS tube can be connected to the fourth terminal, and the source of the fourth NMOS tube can be grounded.

[0055] Based on this, a storage module with a novel storage structure provided by the present invention is obtained, and the storage structure is composed of 8 N-type transistors and includes 4 storage nodes. When the latch is in a latched state, due to the particle impact on the drain of the N-type transistor, only a voltage jump of 1→0 will occur, among which 2 storage nodes with storage information of 0 will not undergo voltage flipping even if they are impacted by particles, and the other 2 nodes with storage information of 1 will be in an open state after a voltage jump of 1→0 occurs, because the potential of the adjacent storage nodes is not affected, and the potential of the node where the voltage jump of 1→0 occurs is pulled back to a high level. Therefore, when only a single storage node is impacted by particles, the circuit of the present invention will not fail; compared with other storage structures, the present invention can significantly reduce the possibility of circuit errors when multiple storage nodes are impacted by particles. Compared with the prior art, the accuracy of the circuit output level after multiple storage nodes are simultaneously impacted by particles is improved.

[0068] Based on this, a clock control module in a latch provided by the present invention is obtained, and the clock control module is used to generate a clock signal and a clock inverse signal to an input module and an output module to realize the latching function of the latch.
[0069] Preferably, a latch provided by the present invention can realize the following functions:
[0070] 1. When the clock signal is 0, the circuit of the latch is in the write state, and the input data of the input module is 0, the sixth NMOS tube, the third NMOS tube and the eighth NMOS tube in the storage module are turned on; when the clock signal is 0, the circuit of the latch is in the write state, and the input data of the input module is 1, the second NMOS tube, the seventh NMOS tube and the fourth NMOS tube in the storage module are turned on.
[0071] 2. When the clock signal is 1, the circuit is in a latched state, and the input data of the input module is 0; the information stored in the first terminal is 1, the information stored in the second terminal is 1 including a threshold loss, the information stored in the third terminal is 0, and the information stored in the fourth terminal is 0; the information stored in the second terminal is output through the first output terminal Q of the latch, and the information stored in the fourth terminal is output through the second output terminal QN of the latch.
[0072] When the clock signal is 1, the circuit is in a latched state, and the input data of the input module is 1; the information stored in the first terminal is 0, the information stored in the second terminal is 0, the information stored in the third terminal is 1, and the information stored in the fourth terminal is 1 including a threshold loss; the information stored in the second terminal is output through the first output terminal Q of the latch, and the information stored in the fourth terminal is output through the second output terminal QN of the latch.
[0073] 3. When the clock signal is 1, the circuit is in latched state, and the input data of the input module is 0.
[0074] If the written data is 0, the information stored in the first terminal X1 is 1, the information stored in the second terminal X2 is 1 (VDD-Vth), the information stored in the third terminal X3 is 0, and the information stored in the fourth terminal X4 is 0;
[0075] When the first terminal X1 is hit by particles, a voltage jump from 1 to 0 occurs, and the third NMOS tube and the sixth NMOS tube are switched from the on state to the off state, and the second terminal X2 and the third terminal X3 are switched from the low resistance state to the high resistance state potential, and remain unchanged, and the potential of the fourth terminal X4 remains unchanged, and the first NMOS tube is switched from the off state to the on state, and the potential of the first terminal X1 is restored to 1;
[0076] When the second terminal X2 is hit by particles, a voltage jump from 1 to 0 occurs, the eighth NMOS tube changes from an on state to a off state, the fourth terminal X4 changes from a low resistance state to a high resistance state, and the potential remains unchanged, the first NMOS tube remains in a closed state, the first terminal X1 remains in a high resistance state, and the potential remains unchanged, the potential of the third terminal X3 remains unchanged, the third NMOS tube remains in an on state, and the potential of the second terminal X4 is restored to 1.
[0077] Specifically, the working principle of a latch provided by the present invention is:
[0078] 1. When the clock signal is 0, the circuit is in the write state, and the latch circuit is written through the input module.
[0079] When the input data is 0, 1 is written to X1, the 1 potential of X1 turns on the MN6 transistor, 0 is written to X3, and at the same time, the 1 potential of X1 turns on the MN3 transistor, 1 is written to X2 (due to the threshold voltage loss when the NMOS tube transmits the 1 signal, the potential of X2 is VDD-Vth), the 1 potential of X2 (VDD-Vth) turns on the MN8 transistor, and 0 is written to X4.
[0080] When the input data is 1, 1 is written to X3, the 1 potential of X3 turns on the MN2 transistor, and 0 is written to X1. At the same time, the 1 potential of X3 turns on the MN7 transistor, and 1 is written to X4 (due to the threshold voltage loss when the NMOS tube transmits the 1 signal, the potential of X4 is VDD-Vth). The 1 potential of X4 (VDD-Vth) turns on the MN4 transistor and writes 0 to X2.
[0081] 2. When the clock signal is 1, the circuit is in a latched state, and the information stored in the latch circuit is output through the output module.
[0082] When the written data is 0, the information stored in X1 is 1, the information stored in X2 is 1 (VDD-Vth), the information stored in X3 is 0, and the information stored in X4 is 0. The information 1 (VDD-Vth) stored in X2 is restored to a 1 signal without threshold loss through two inverters and output from the Q end; the information 0 stored in X4 is output from QN after passing through two inverters.
[0083] When the written data is 1, the information stored in X1 is 0, the information stored in X2 is 0, the information stored in X3 is 1, and the information stored in X4 is 1 (VDD-Vth). The information 0 stored in X2 is output from the Q end as an output signal after passing through two inverters; the information 1 (VDD-Vth) stored in X4 is restored to a 1 signal without threshold loss through two inverters and output from the QN end.
[0084] 3. The working principle of the latch's resistance to multi-node single-particle upset is: when the clock signal is 1, the circuit is in the latched state.
[0085] If the written data is 0, the information stored in X1 is 1, the information stored in X2 is 1 (VDD-Vth), the information stored in X3 is 0, and the information stored in X4 is 0. Since the drain of the N-type transistor will collect negative charges when hit by particles, only a voltage jump from 1 to 0 will occur. At this time, the two storage nodes X3 and X4 will not flip even if they are hit by particles.
[0086] When X1 is hit by particles, a voltage jump from 1 to 0 occurs, MN3 and MN6 transistors change from on to off, X2 and X3 become high impedance states, and the potential remains unchanged. X4 is not affected and the potential remains unchanged. MN1 transistor changes from off to on, restoring X1 to 1 (due to the threshold voltage loss when the NMOS tube transmits the 1 signal, the gate potential X2 of the MN1 transistor is VDD-Vth, and the potential of X1 can only be restored to VDD-2Vth).
[0087] When X2 is hit by particles, a voltage jump from 1 to 0 occurs, the MN8 transistor changes from on to off, X4 becomes high impedance and the potential remains unchanged, the MN1 transistor remains off, X1 remains high impedance and the potential remains unchanged, X3 is not affected and the potential remains unchanged, the MN3 transistor remains on, and X2 is restored to 1 (due to the threshold voltage loss when the NMOS tube transmits the 1 signal, the gate potential of the MN3 transistor X1 is VDD, and the potential of X2 can only be restored to VDD-Vth).
[0088] Similarly, the analysis when the written data is 1 is similar to that when the written data is 0; thus, it can be concluded that the latch proposed in the present invention has the following characteristics:
[0089] 1) When in the latched state, no matter which node is hit by a particle, it will not affect the output signal.
[0090] 2) Since the drain of an N-type transistor will collect negative charges when hit by particles, only a voltage jump of 1→0 will occur. Even if two nodes storing information of 0 are hit by particles, their own potentials will not be reversed, which can significantly reduce the possibility of circuit output errors after multiple storage nodes are hit by particles at the same time.
[0091] In order to more fully reflect the advantage of a latch provided by the present invention in improving the accuracy of the circuit output level after multiple storage nodes in a storage module are simultaneously hit by particles, the test data of two storage structures DICE and Nwise in the prior art and the latch with a new storage structure provided by the present invention are shown in Table 1. It should be noted that since the three storage structures all have 4 storage nodes, it can be considered that the possibility of each node being hit by particles is the same. On this basis, the possibility of failure of the three structures after different numbers of nodes are hit by particles is analyzed and calculated.
[0092] Table 1 is a comparison result of the single-particle upset resistance performance of the DICE and Nwise storage structures in the prior art and a latch provided by the present invention.
[0093]
[0094]
[0095] From Table 1, it can be clearly seen that: for a latch provided by the present invention, when there is a particle collision on one storage node, the possibility of an error is 0; when there are particle collisions on two storage nodes, the possibility of an error is 1 / 6; when there are particle collisions on three storage nodes, the possibility of an error is 1 / 2; and when there are particle collisions on four storage nodes, an error is likely to occur. Compared with the two storage structures of DICE and Nwise, the latch structure proposed by the present invention can not only ensure that the circuit does not have an error when a single node is hit by a particle, but also significantly reduce the possibility of circuit errors when multiple nodes are hit by particles; it improves the accuracy of the circuit output level after multiple storage nodes are hit by particles at the same time, and significantly reduces the error rate of the circuit output level after multiple storage nodes are hit by particles at the same time.
[0096] In practical applications, a trigger can be composed of multiple latches with the same latch circuit structure as the one provided by the present invention; for example, a trigger can be composed of one master latch and one slave latch, and the circuit structure corresponding to the trigger is: the input end of the master latch is connected to the input end of the trigger, the output end of the master latch is connected to the input end of the slave latch, and the output end of the slave latch is connected to the output end of the trigger. Among them, the circuit structure corresponding to the master latch and the slave latch is the same as the latch circuit structure provided by the present invention; the connection method of the clock signal in the master latch is the same as the connection method of the clock signal in the latch circuit provided by the present invention, and the connection method of the clock signal in the slave latch is opposite to the connection method of the clock signal in the latch circuit provided by the present invention; that is, the clock input signals of the master latch and the slave latch are opposite. For example: please refer to Figure 3 , because in practical applications, the circuit structure and clock signal of the main latch in the trigger are Figure 3 The circuit structure and clock signal shown in the figure are consistent, while the circuit structure of the slave latch in the trigger is the same as Figure 3 The circuit structure shown is the same, the difference is that the clock signal is opposite; for example, in the master-level latch, the gate of the input module MP11 is connected to the clock signal terminal c, and the gate of MN4 is connected to the clock anti-signal terminal cn; then in the slave-level latch, the gate of the transistor corresponding to MP11 in its input module is connected to the clock anti-signal terminal cn, and the gate of the transistor corresponding to MN4 is connected to the clock signal terminal c. Based on this, a trigger composed of multiple latches with the same latch circuit structure as the present invention also has the ability to resist particle impact in the latch structure, and improves the accuracy of the circuit output level after multiple storage nodes in the trigger are simultaneously impacted by particles.
