Triple module redundancy (TMR) hardening technique is the most effective and applicable method nowadays, but it is really expensive in terms of area and power costs. Selective TMR can greatly reduce the area overhead with a small loss of SEU immunity, hence in this work, we propose a new strategy for selective TMR based on don ’t care configuration bits distribution. Don’t care configuration bits are calculated by means of windowing for each LUTs in the circuit, with the statistics of don’t care configuration bits, LUTs are classified into two sets: SEU-sensitive or SEU-insensitive. SEU-insensitive LUTs remain unchanged whereas SEU-sensitive LUTs have to be tripled and voted. The triplication operates on Look-up table (LUT) level, and each triplicated LUTs are voted by a voter built by the abundant tristate buffer (BUFT) resources in Virtex FPGAs, hence no area overhead will be brought in by voter insertion. Experiments on MCNC’91 benchmarks show that our method can reduce about 30% area overhe
