A Method for Resisting SRAM SEU Accumulation with Scrubbing

To prevent the accumulation of SEU errors in the SRAM of space application,this paper puts forward an optimized scrubbing mechanism featuring with reading,checking and writing back.The mechanism makes a realtime monitor for the processor state.When the processor requests the external main memory to read,the memory controller will scrub the storage unit which was reading without CPU intervention.While the processor has no operation on main memory,the memory controller is of independence to refresh all SRAM cells,which is traverse type.The mechanism can avoid SEU errors accumulation in SRAM cells which has not been read for a long time,and guarantee that the error bits in an SRAM cell is less than the check code error detection ability.Finally,this paper makes the memory controller which is implemented the scrubbing mechanism a verification,the results show that the memory controller can archive the design requirements.
