A built-in self-test (BIST) approach is presented for the configurable logic blocks (CLBs) in Xilinx Virtex-5 field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). A total of 17 configurations were developed to completely test the full functionality of the CLBs, including distributed RAM modes of operation. These configurations cumulatively detect 100% of stuck-at faults in every CLB. There is no area overhead...
We propose a built-in scheme for generating all patterns of a given deterministic test set T. The scheme is based on grouping the columns of T, so that in each group of columns the number ri of unique representatives (row subvectors) as well as their product R over all such groups is kept at a minimum. The representatives of each group (segment) are then generated by a small finite state machine (FSM)...
Built-in self test (BIST) and built-in self repair (BISR) techniques have been developed for memory blocks in recent years. Such techniques are suited to enhance production yield, but also to facilitate long-term dependable circuits though self repair in the field of application. BISR for logic circuits has shown to be much more complex, for which only a few approaches have been published so far....
In this paper, we present a novel technique for online testing of feedback bridging faults in the interconnects of the cluster based FPGA. The detection circuit will be implemented using BISTER configuration. We have configured the Block Under Test (BUT) with a pseudo-delay independent asynchronous element. Since we have exploited the concept of asynchronous element known as Muller-C element in order...
We present a built-in self-test (BIST) approach able to detect and accurately diagnose all single and practically all multiple faulty programmable logic blocks (PLBs) in field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) with maximum diagnostic resolution. Unlike conventional BIST, FPGA BIST does not involve any area overhead or performance degradation. We also identify and solve the problem of testing configuration...
