  • An HDL Approach to Board-Level BIST
    Publication . Alves, Gustavo R.; Gericota, Manuel G.; Ramalho, José L.; Ferreira, José M.
    Boundary scan is now the most promising technology for testing high-complexity printed circuit boards. The number of BST components available to board-level designers is however still restricted, limiting the achievable fault coverage. The requirements to improve board-level testability are analysed, and a corresponding set of testability building blocks are proposed. A low-cost and maximum-flexibility solution is described, which implements these blocks on medium-complexity PLDs, using a simple and powerful HDL.
