ECC on CPU Registers

Hamid.Wasti

Do any of the Cortex M4 or M33 based MCUs have ECC on the processor's registers?

If not, is there a mechanism built into the processor to ensure that processor registers (R0, R1, R2...R15 etc) are not corrupted due to SEU?

Regards,

Hamid

No

Perhaps look at using something that's error-resistant, fault-tolerant or space-rated rather than expect commercial-off-the-shelf to carry this level of protection

SPARQ Leon 3 ?

Thanks.

This is an application that can be done reliably and comfortably in a 4x4mm Cortex M0+ based STM32L0 or STM32U0 processor.

Unfortunately, the client is working to meet a spec, based on a spec, that is based on a spec... and they all come together to impose this requirement on just this one module in the fairly large system.

The client already has a solution. I think it is based on a Cortex-R based MCU -- I am not sure. But that option is too big. I am tasked with finding a physically smaller solution. Otherwise, they will stick with the existing solution and deal with the size penalty.

Thanks,

Hamid
