SystemBIST offers a versatile plug-and-play solution for FPGA configuration and JTAG testing with its unique patented architecture. This product is ideal for creating high-quality, self-testable, and in-the-field reconfigurable equipment, ensuring reliable integration and testing in any IEEE 1532 or 1149.1 compliant devices. SystemBIST efficiently utilizes existing system flash memory to store vital configuration and test data, which can be applied at power-up, enabling cost-effective setup without the need for multiple configuration PROMs.
Additionally, SystemBIST enhances PCB testing efficacy by embedding deterministic Built-In Self-Test (BIST) capabilities, using manufacturing-based JTAG/IEEE 1149.1 test patterns to conduct efficient system tests. This platform simplifies the adoption of robust security measures, including 128-bit security identifiers, helping prevent unauthorized cloning and tampering of FPGAs. By doing so, it seamlessly supports the intricate demands of modern electronics and embedded systems.
The platform not only reduces the cost associated with in-system configuration but also advances the embedded test methodology by enabling debugging without removing and replacing programmable components. It offers a scalable and reusable test infrastructure, applicable across different product generations and varying applications, thereby extending the operational life and value of the technology involved.
