Parity Code for Error Detection

One of the most common ways to achieve error detection is by means of parity code. A parity code is generated by adding an extra parity bit (information redundancy) to the string of data bits. There are two types of…

Redundancy in Fault Tolerance

In the previous post we have understood the need of Fault Tolerance in VLSI System Design. A VLSI system can broadly be considered as a union of following 3 layers: Hardware Layer (Processing cores, Memories, etc.) Software Layer (OS, Program…
