Design of a Voting Mechanism considering Safety for Reliable System Using EPLD and Reliability Analysis

The protection system of the system communication, nuclear reactor and chemical reactor are representative of reliable system. This reliable system must be designed based on reliability as well as concept of safety, which is a failed system go a way of safe. Reliable system is composed of part of data acquisition, calculator, communication with redundancy, and a voter is important factor of reliability. Because it is serially connected. This paper presents a Design and Analysis of a Voting Mechanism considering Safety for reliable system Using EPLD. In the case of digital implementation a coincidence logic (voter) of reliable system, it needs CPU and memory, so increase a number of units. Therefore the failure rate and cost are increased on contrary when it is designed EPLD or FPGA.
