Abstract
This paper derives a fault model for one-time programmable FPGAs from the general functional fault model and an algorithm to perform test generation according to this model. The new model is characterized by the abstraction of functional faults from a set of possible implementations of a circuit. In contrast to other functional-level test generation procedures a fault coverage of 100% can be achieved regardless of the final implementation of the circuit.
