None—no special DCF strategy is used.
Parity—not implemented for UTEST DCF clients. Used for TEST Only DCF clients
not accessible to the user.
Write Once—a DCF client can only be written once. The DCF client ignores
subsequent writes.
Triple Voted—DCF clients have three copies of the register. The SSCM writes to
all three registers in a single write cycle. The outputs of the three registers are
majority voted together to determine the correct data value. Triple voting allows for
'bit-flip' error tollerance without changing the DCF client output data.
Triple Voted with second write—as per 'Triple Voted' but during the second
execution of Phase 3 of the reset sequence, the SSCM attempts to write the DCF
client again and the DCF client checks that the register contains the same data.
Write 0 only—a bit in a DCF client can only be written from a logic 1 to a logic 0.
An attempt to write a logic 1 is ignored.
Write 1 only—a bit in a DCF client can only be written from a logic 0 to a logic 1.
An attempt to write a logic 0 is ignored.
DCF order dependency in flash memory—this column details whether or not there
are special conditions on the location of a particular DCF record in flash memory.
