Abstract

We present an improved Built-In Self-Test (BIST) approach for the programmable logic blocks (PLBs) of a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), which repeatedly reconfigures the FPGA as a group of C-testable iterative logic arrays. The new architecture is easily scalable with increasing size of FPGAs and ensures routability of the various configurations required to completely test the FPGA in three test sessions. In addition, the BIST approach addresses RAM mode testing as well as testing the adder/subtractor modes in FPGAs.
