How to Verify Rad-Tolerant Mitigation Circuitry

Details

Overview

Once you’ve implemented rad-tolerant circuitry into your FPGA design, how do you verify that functionality is preserved? And how do you verify that the mitigation scheme actually works? Attend this session to learn about various methodologies and tool flows to implement rad-tolerant circuitry, automatically verify that design functionality is preserved, and verify the effectiveness of the mitigation schemes.

What You Will Learn

  • Considerations when verifying rad-tolerant circuitry
  • How to automatically mitigate a circuit and verify design functionality
  • Methodologies to verify effectiveness of mitigation schemes
