A Brief Introduction to Application-Dependent FPGA Testing
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper gives a brief introduction to the application-dependent FPGA testing. In comparison with the conventional application-independent FPGA testing whose objective is to test the resources of a FPGA chip as exhaustively as possible, application-dependent FPGA testing is only performed on the resources used by a specific application implemented on the FPGA. The multi-configuration strategy proposed in [1] requires only three simple configurations to test the interconnects and logic blocks of an arbitrary application implemented on a FPGA chip. Besides, using this approach, a very fast diagnosis scheme can be realized without extra test configuration. The approach will be discussed in details in this paper.

Optimizing FPGA architectures is one of the key challenges in digital design flow. Traditionally, FPGA designers make use of CAD tools for evaluating architectures in terms of the area, delay and power. Recently, analytical methods have been proposed to optimize the architectures faster and easier. A complete analytical power, area and delay model have received little attention to date. In addi...
متن کاملAn Application Specific Reconfigurable Architecture for Fault Testing and Diagnosis: a Survey
Now a day’s many VLSI designers are implementing different applications on real time with the use of FPGAs. Although they are working efficiently, they are not achieving their expected goals. This is only because of the faults which are occurring in the FPGA at the runtime of the application. Those faults are remaining in the circuitry as there is no provision for removal of those faults at app...

A novel application-dependent interconnect testing scheme of Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) based on line branches partitioning is presented. The targeted line branches of the interconnects in FPGAs’ Application Configurations (ACs) are partitioned into multiple subsets, so that they can be tested with compatible Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) configurations in multiple Test Co...
متن کاملEfficient Scan-Based BIST Architecture for Application-Dependent FPGA Test
FPGAs are attractive devices due to their low development cost and short time-to-market, and widely used not only for reconfigurable purpose but also as applicationdependent embedded devices for low-volume products. This paper presents a scan-based BIST architecture for testing of application-dependent circuits configured on FPGA. In order to build up BIST components such as LFSR, MISR and scan...
