A fault-tolerant computational system having a voter circuit which receives inputs from several computational devices and produces an output in agreement with a majority of the inputs. Also included is a clock circuit for synchronizing the output of data from the computational devices so that the input to the voter circuit is synchronized. The system may be adapted for fault detection by comparing the output of the voter circuit to the outputs of each of the computational channels.
