Self-repair techniques in digital systems

ABSTRACT

The Army's use of sophisticated digital equipment at the lower organizational levels has led to an increased requirement for equipment availability without extensive downtime, maintenance, or logistics support. Self-repair by means of automatic spares switching was considered in an Army funded study as a possible solution to this requirement. This paper is based on that study.
