Claim 29:
30. The method of claim 29, wherein the comparator comprises:
a subtractor configured to receive an output of the first processing path of the ROIC, receive an output of the second processing path of the ROIC, and subtract the output of the second processing path of the ROIC from the output of the first processing path of the ROIC;
a second comparator configured to compare the output of the subtractor to an error tolerance;
a combinatorial logic gate configured to perform a combinatorial logical operation on the output of the second comparator, at least one diagnostic from the first through tenth diagnostic function blocks, and to output an error flag when an error occurs; and
an output data processor configured to receive the output of the first processing path of the ROIC, the output of the second processing path of the ROIC, and the output of the combinatorial logic gate, and a function of the outputs of the first processing path of the ROIC and the output of the second processing path of the ROIC that is determined to be error free.
