A Survey of Diagnosis Method for Interconnect in SRAM-Based FPGAs

Abstract:

To further improve the fault coverage and accuracy of fault location in SRAM based on FPGAs interconnect, an efficient method of fault detection and location is presented. Eight types of programming based on multiple times programmable FPGA is used, and further improved fault coverage and accuracy of fault location. Analysis showed that the proposed methods could cover all interconnect single faults and locate five single faults to specific switch or locate bridge fault to a pair of segments.
