Diagnosis of open defects in FPGA interconnect

چکیده
In this paper, we present coarse-grain and fine-grain diagnosis techniques to identify a faulty element in FPGA interconnects. The fault model we use is stuck-open and resistive-open for interconnects. The presented technique requires only a small number of configurations while offering high resolution diagnosis. We implemented this technique on real FPGA chips and verified it using fault emulation.

FPGA Interconnect Delay Fault Testing
The interconnection network consumes the majority of die area in an FPGA. Presented is a scalable manufacturing test method for all SRAM-based FPGAs, able to detect multiple interconnect delay faults, multiple bridging faults, or both. An adjustable maximum sensitivity to resistive open defects of several kilo-ohms is achieved. A bridging fault that causes a signal transition to occur on at lea...
متن کاملTesting and diagnosis of interconnect faults in cluster-based FPGA architectures
As IC densities are increasing, cluster-based field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) architectures are becoming the architecture of choice for major FPGA manufacturers. A cluster-based architecture is one in which several logic blocks are grouped together into a coarse-grained logic block. While the high-density local interconnect often found within clusters serves to improve FPGA utilization, i...
متن کاملApplication-Dependent Diagnosis of FPGAs
A new technique for diagnosis of faults in the interconnects and logic blocks of an arbitrary design implemented on an FPGA is presented. This work is complementary to application-dependent detection methods for FPGAs. This technique can uniquely identify any single bridging, open, or stuck-at fault in the interconnect as well as any single functional fault in the logic blocks. The number of te...
متن کاملBIST-Based Diagnosis of FPGA Interconnect
We present a Built-In Self-Test (BIST)-based diagnostic approach for the programmable interconnect resources in Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) that can be used for either on-line or off-line testing. The technique was originally intended for on-line diagnosis of faulty interconnect to support fault-tolerant applications. However, the technique has been proven to be an excellent approach...
متن کاملA Technique for Logic Fault Diagnosis of Interconnect Open Defects
A technique to perform logic diagnosis of defects that cause interconnects in a digital logic circuit to become open or highly resistive is presented. The novel features of this work include a diagnostic fault model to capture potential faulty behaviors in the presence of an open defect and diagnosis algorithms that leverage the diagnostic model while circumventing the need for detailed circuit...
