DEFINITION

Classification: 326/9

RELIABILITY:

(under the class definition) Subject matter having a device for improving the operational quality of a logic circuit, such that an operational procedure yields the same results on repeated trials.

(1) Note. For increasing the operational reliability, a circuit may include a fault detection, a warning signal indication, or an operational isolation such that a component failure in one channel does not affect the operation of the remaining channel, etc.
