SEU mitigation, detection, and correction techniques are disclosed. Mitigation techniques include: triple redundancy of a logic path extended the length of the FPGA; triple logic module and feedback redundancy provides redundant voter circuits at redundant logic outputs and voter circuits in feedback loops; enhanced triple device redundancy using three FPGAs is introduced to provide nine instances of the user's logic; critical redundant outputs are wire-ANDed together; redundant dual port RAMs, with one port dedicated to refreshing data; and redundant clock delay locked loops (DLL) are monitored and reset if each DLL does not remain in phase with the majority of the DLLs. Detection techniques include: configuration memory readback wherein a checksum is verified; separate FPGAs perform readbacks of configuration memory of a neighbor FPGA; and an FPGA performs a self-readback of its configuration memory array. Correction techniques include reconfiguration of partial configuration data and "scrubbing" based on anticipated SEUs.
