Abstract
Self-checking designs will gain increasing interest in industrial applications if they satisfy the following requirements: high fault coverage, reduced hardware cost and reduced design effort. This work is aimed to reach these requirements for the design of self-checking shifters and is part of a broader project concerning the design of self-checking data paths.
