On-line testing and recovery of FPGA-based systems
SRAM-based FPGAs have become an attractive solution for many applications where a short development time, low-cost for low-production volumes, and in-the-field-programming ability are important issues. The flexibility of SRAM-based FPGAs comes from the adoption of a configuration memory that defines the operations of the circuit that the FPGA implements. It …
Hydraulic load cells for measurement of small loads
This work deals with the design of a small kitchen appliance with a weighing function integrated into a control loop in order to prevent unbalanced movement of the appliance during operation. In this particular case, the weighing should be appropriate for larger amounts (up to 5 kg) of ingredients. The …
Test Infrastructure Design for ADC Cores in System-on-Chip
With the advent of System-on-Chip (SoC), intense research efforts are being carried out in order to find efficient practical solutions for testing deeply embedded, mixed-signal cores. Due to restricted access, a built-in self-test (BIST) of mixed-signal cores is in many cases a preferred alternative to a conventional test using external …
