Built-In Self Test

BIST is a technique aimed to: Avoiding the usage of expensive ATE Increase the fault tolerance since it add more access to the internal points Allow the application of at-speed test and reduce the test time. It is mandatory to consider the BIST as a test solution when the design flow and the design area can afford it.

Autonomous Built-in Self-Test Methods for SRAM Based FPGAs

Built-in Self-Test (BIST) approaches for Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) based Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) must be capable of fully testing the resources in the device. A summary of current techniques is presented in this paper that covers the three main components of modern FPGAs: logic blocks, interconnects and embedded FPGA cores. Overhead requirements, coverage capability, tra...

Multiplier Based Built In Self Test Strategy for Cryptographic Applications

The testability of cryptographic cores brings in an extra dimension to the process of digital circuits testing – security. The benefits of the classical methods such as the scan-chain method introduce new vulnerabilities concerning data protection. A Built-In Self-Test (BIST) approach is considered to be the most suitable countermeasure for this purpose. In this work we propose re-using a multi...

the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame

this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...
