Abstract

The invention relates to an integrated circuit test, and discloses a wiring method and a testing method of wiring resources of an FPGA. The wiring method specifically comprises the following steps ofselecting a direction; executing the wiring process of a unit step length sequentially from each row or each column of the starting wiring unit to each row or each column of the ending wiring unit, and executing the wiring process of the unit step length once from each row or each column of the starting wiring unit in a direction opposite to the selected direction. The testing method is used for testing the distributed tested line segments on the basis of the wiring method. According to the embodiment of the invention, the existing FPGA logic resources can be utilized in a balanced manner, thewiring channels are tested as much as possible in one test pad, the number of test pads required by FPGA wiring resource testing is reduced, the FPGA testing time is shortened, and the test pad development time is shortened.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of integrated circuit testing, in particular to a routing technology and testing technology of FPGA routing resources. Background technique [0002] The wiring resources connect all units inside the FPGA, and the length and process of the connection determine the driving capability and transmission speed of the signal on the connection. There are abundant wiring resources inside the FPGA chip. In practice, designers do not need to directly select wiring resources. The placer and router can automatically select wiring resources according to the topology and constraints of the input logic netlist to connect each module unit. The wiring resources are An important part of the FPGA, the connectivity of the FPGA's routing resources directly affects the specific functions of the FPGA, so the testing of the FPGA's routing resources is particularly important. [0003] The disadvantage of the existing FPGA routing re...
