TITLE: BUILT-IN SELF-TEST FOR FPGAS

SystemBIST Embedded Configuration and Test  Processor,  developed
by  Intellitech,  enables system-wide deterministic built-in self
test and programmable logic configuration  of  FPGAs  and  CPLDs.
The  dedicated processor is used for deterministic Built-In-Self-
Test (BIST) and FPGA/CPLD in-system configuration on single  PCBs
or  in multi-PCB systems.  This new member of Intellitech's TEST-
IP family provides a solution for in-the-field logic upgrades  of
FPGAs  and  CPLDs  from  different vendors as well as fixtureless
on-board  digital   test.    Intellitech   has   demonstrated   a
comprehensive  multi-board  reference  design  incorporating  the
technology.  The reference  system  provided  system  level  FPGA
programming  from  a  centralized  point  and  embedded test with
diagnostics.
