Logic Vision PCB BIST

• Enable automatic addition of BIST to general board designs
• Maximize BIST coverage for board designs-cover boundary scan (BS) and non BS components
• Define standardized approach to BIST design
• Develop software to analyze behavioral VHDL board design, add VHDL to implement BIST, and synthesize logic

BENEFITS

• Commercially available tools
• Allows automatic insertion of BIST into a board design
• Generation of reusable BIST insertion strategies

• Delivery of ABIST software prototype - 4Q96
• Evaluation of software prototype based on BM3 FPCTL board (or equivalent) design - Complete
• Detailed SOW developed: LM ATL and Logic Vision interacting on basic board BIST modeling
• MCM BIST-XT released - 10/96
• LM ATL demonstrated application of modified tools to test an external SRAM via an on-board FPGA tester
• Capability commercially available

• Leverages work performed on previous ARPA contract (Contract F33615-94-C-1500 - Hierarchical and Integrated BIST CAD Tools)
