Simplified Flip-Flop Gate Model for EEMI Injection

Abstract

We present a second order dynamical system to represent the behavior of a D flip-flop. We employ windowing functions and vector fields to replicate a characteristic found in [1],which resorts to switching. The model also takes into account metastable behavior, which can be exploited when studying software execution faults due to an undefined logical state. We conceived the noise injection to be additive noise targeting the transition between the stable equilibrium points. However, the model is flexible and many parameters can be changed to alter its behavior.
