An Accurate SER Estimation Method Based on Propagation Probability

In this paper, we present an accurate but very fast soft error rate (SER) estimation technique for digital circuits based on error propagation probability (EPP) computation. Experiments results and comparison of the results with the random simulation technique show that our proposed method is on average within 6% of the random simulation method and four to five orders of magnitude faster.
