Soft Error Rates with Inertial and Logical Masking

We analyze the neutron induced soft error rate (SER). An induced error pulse is modeled by two parameters, probability of occurrence and probability density function of the pulse width. We calculate failures in time (FIT) rates for ISCAS85 benchmark circuits. A comparison with measured SER for SRAMs shows better relevance of our work over other published work. Our CPU times are reasonable; bench
