Minimizing the number of programming steps for diagnosis of interconnect faults in FPGAs
Yinlei Yu, Jian Xu, Wei Kang Huang, Fabrizio Aghini Lombardi · 2003
This paper presents a procedure to diagnose single faults in SRAM based FPGAs. The procedure is nonadaptive and requires six programming steps to give the exact position and type of any single fault in a FPGA. It is proved that the number of programming steps required for the procedure is minimal for a non-adaptive procedure with the given interconnect model.
