Abstract
A novel constant-time fault-secure binary counter is presented. This counter is appropriate for performance aware safety critical systems. This is achieved due its ability to read its binary output on-the-fly. The safety scheme is based on parity prediction technique achieving concurrent on-line testing. The experimental results exhibit high levels of safe operation, keeping the performance of the Constant Time Binary Counter almost linear to its size increase, while area overhead is lower than that of any counter based on a multichannel technique.
