SystemBIST is a sophisticated, vendor-independent plug-and-play IC tailored for the flexible configuration of FPGAs on PCBs. The aim of this solution is to simplify the FPGA configuration and testing processes by eliminating the need for PROMs and complex firmware. SystemBIST utilizes the IEEE 1149.1 and IEEE 1532 standards, ensuring broad applicability across different vendor products while maintaining high quality and configuration flexibility.\n\nThe hallmark of SystemBIST is its ability to execute deterministic Built-In Self Test (BIST) for PCBs and system-level components. This significantly simplifies the testing process as embedded test patterns and scripts can be reused, providing reliable testing scenarios without additional software efforts. SystemBIST’s capabilities extend beyond FPGA programming, enabling re-programming and testing of CPLDs and other components in the field, ensuring products remain adaptable and secure.\n\nWith comprehensive support from Intellitech’s Eclipse Test Development Environment, SystemBIST provides a centralized framework for the generation, validation, and application of test suites, integrating seamlessly with existing system configurations. This capability is complemented by SystemBIST’s robust anti-tamper and counterfeit protection, featuring embedded security measures to safeguard the integrity of designs.
