A QCA implementation of a configurable logic block for an FPGA

Abstract — A Built-In Self-Test (BIST) approach is presented for the configurable logic blocks (CLBs) in Xilinx Virtex-5 Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). A total of 17 configurations were developed to completely test the full functionality of the CLBs, including distributed RAM modes

Abstract-This paper proposes the design of a FPGA

Logic Blocks (CLB), with a routing architecture that connects these blocks together (Figure 1). An island-style FPGA structure is investigated and the CLB is explored in order to reduce its power consumption. Approximately 16 percent of the FPGA power is consumed by the CLBs alone. As technology

transistors that arise from electromigration effects. Several Built-In Self-Test (BIST) techniques have been proposed in the past to detect and isolate such faults. These techniques suffer from routing congestion problems in modern FPGAs that have a large number of logic blocks. This thesis presents

in these domains (block-diagrams, networks of operators, dynamical samples-systems, etc: : : ), and its synchronous interpretation makes it well suited for handling time in programs. Moreover, this synchronous interpretation allows it to be compiled into an efficient sequential program. Finally, the Lustre

be pos-sible. To reflect this view of computation, [Sar89] develops the cc family of languages. We present here one mem-ber of the family, CC(.L,+) (pronounced “cc with Ask and Choose”) which provides the basic operations of blocking Ask and atomic Tell and an algebra of be-haviors closed under prefixing

The perceptual recognition of objects is conceptualized to be a process in which the image of the input is segmented at regions of deep concavity into an arrangement of simple geometric components, such as blocks, cylinders, wedges, and cones. The fundamental assumption of the proposed theory

configuration changes occur. The resulting building blocks are, therefore, unsuitable for facilitating the construction of systems where reliability is impo/tant. This paper reviews six years of research on Isis, a syg_,,m that provides tools _ support the construction of reliable distributed software
