On-line testing of transient and crosstalk faults affecting interconnections of FPGA-implemented systems

In this paper we propose a self-checking scheme for the on-line testing of transient and crosstalk faults affecting the interconnections of synchronous systems implemented using Field-Programmable Gate-Arrays (FPGAs). An FPGA prototype has been implemented, whose correct operation has been verified by means of post-layout simulations and experimental measurements.
