The aim of the AMATISTA European project (IST project 11762) is to develop a set of tools devoted to the design of FT digital circuits. The toolset is composed of: an automatic insertion tool and a simulation tool to validate the FT design. This paper is a case study describing how this set of FTI (fault tolerant insertion) and FTV (fault tolerant verification) tools have been used to increase the reliability in a typical automotive application.","PeriodicalId":230758,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2002 IEEE International Workshop on Memory Technology, Design and Testing (MTDT2002)","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124868972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examine the realistic fault and defect coverages of these memory BIST tests. We also uncover the subtle effect that addressing order has on the coverage that a test can provide. In addition, we show that the coverage that a test provides can vary from row to row depending on the addressing scheme.","PeriodicalId":230758,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2002 IEEE International Workshop on Memory Technology, Design and Testing (MTDT2002)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114285361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A prototype has been implemented, whose correct operation has been verified by means of post-layout simulations and experimental measurements. Our scheme negligibly impacts system's performance and features self-checking ability with respect to a wide set of possible internal faults, representative of the most likely faults for FPGA-implemented systems.","PeriodicalId":230758,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2002 IEEE International Workshop on Memory Technology, Design and Testing (MTDT2002)","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132996791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
