On-chip probe circuit for detecting faults in an FPGA

摘要

An integrated circuit includes a clock input, a first output, and a second output. A programmable pulse generator has a programmable pulse counter coupled to the clock input at least one control input for receiving count information. A fixed delay element is coupled to the programmable pulse counter. A programmable delay element is coupled to the programmable pulse counter and has at least one control input for receiving delay information. A first multiplexer is coupled to the fixed delay element, the programmable delay element and to the first output. A second multiplexer is coupled to the programmable delay element, the output of the fixed delay element and the second output.
