An Automatic Reconfiguration System for FPGA Based on ATE
Aiming at the problem of automatic batch configuration test of logic resources and electrical performance parameters in FPGA,an application program automatic reconfiguration system scheme is proposed,which combines automatic reconfiguration mod-ule,ATE test platform and host software.The application program of FPGA to be tested is loaded in the automatic reconfiguration module by the upper computer software to realize the combination of software and hardware.The automatic reconfiguration system is built based on XC7A100T FPGA,and the application program is automatically downloaded by three-stage state machine.The experi-mental results show that the system can automatically download the application program of the FPGA under various configuration modes,and complete the automatic batch testing of the logic resources and electrical performance parameters of the FPGA chip under test.For XC6SLX16-2CSG324-T FPGA,the automatic configuration test time only needs 7 min in parallel mode,which greatly saves the application configuration time and meets the requirements of automatic batch testing of various FPGA automatic batch tests.
