The signal toggling detection and correction circuit includes a flip-flop, a checker circuit, and a fault monitoring circuit that includes a restoration circuit. Based on faults such as soft errors and unintended bit toggles in the flip-flop, a flop output signal toggles. A set of checker signals outputted by the checker circuit may toggle based on toggling of the flop output signal and a restoration signal of the restoration circuit. Based on the toggling of at least one checker signal, the fault monitoring circuit determines whether the flip-flop or the checker circuit is faulty. When the checker circuit is faulty, the fault monitoring circuit corrects the toggling of at least one checker signal. When the flip-flop is faulty, the fault monitoring circuit corrects the toggling of one of the toggled flop output signal or the restoration signal and further corrects the toggled checker signal.
