An Introduction to Radiation-Induced Failure Modes and Related Mitigation Methods For Xilinx SRAM FPGAs
Using reconfigurable, static random-access memory (SRAM) based field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) for space-based computation has been an exciting area of research for the past decade. In comparison with traditional radiation-hardened electronics, these devices would allow spacecrafts to be more adaptive and responsive to changing mission needs. Unfortunately, all commercially available SRA...
متن کاملTesting for the Programming Circuit of SRAM-Based FPGAs
The programming circuit of SRAM-based FPGAs consists of two shift registers, a control circuit and a configuration memory (SRAM) cell array. Because the configuration memory cell array can be easily tested by conventional test methods for RAMs, we focus on testing for the shift registers. We first derive test procedures for the shift registers, which can be done by using only the faculties of t...

SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are an attractive solution for many applications where short time-to-market, low-cost for low-production volumes, and in-the-field-programming ability are important issues. One of the few major disadvantages of SRAM-based FPGAs is the sensitivity to ionizing radiation [1-3]. Indeed, also at sea level, neutrons, originating from the interactions ...

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...
