Abstract

Abstract: Embryonics array is limited by the poor self-repairing ability, low resource utilization and high hardware resource consumption. In order to solve these problems, a novel kind of electronic cluster composed of inner switch, inner cells and control unit is proposed. Based on the cluster architecture, a gene shifting self-repairing method is proposed. In the simulation, the electronic cluster is configured as an accumulative adder, and the functions of the electronic cluster are verified. Hardware resource consumption of electronic cluster and the reliability of array are analyzed. Simulated and analyzed results show that the gene shifting self-repairing method can be used to repair the faults effectively, and the intermediate states of sequence circuit can be saved. And as the array size increases, the mean time to failures of the array based on electronic clusters is longer, and the hardware resource consumption is lower. Key
