摘要: Conventional fault simulation techniques for field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are very complicated and time consuming. The alternative, FPGA emulation technique, is incomplete can be used only after the chip manufactured. In this paper, we present efficient algorithms computing coverage of a given test configuration. faults considered opens shorts in interconnects. presented technique able to report all detectable undetectable and, compared with conventional methods, orders magnitude faster.
