FS-ATG
FS-ATG is an automatic test vector generation software program for PLDs, including Xilinx FPGAs and EPLDs. Generated test vectors may be applied on a logic programmer, component tester, or in-circuit board tester. They may also be used as inputs to PLD design software packages.
FS-ATG includes several utilities that perform logic analysis and device simulation. With FS-ATG's powerful design-for-testability tools, time-to-market can be substantially reduced. Optional modules provide support for various PALs, GALs, FPGAs, EPLDs, and CPLDs.
FS-ATG inputs the design's .XNF file. The user specifies special constraints, such as pins to be connected, ignored, or forced high and low.
Two methods of test are available for Xilinx devices: a full-functional test of the device or use of a substitute test circuit. FS-ATG outputs test vectors in several different formats depending on how they will be used. These test vectors are race free and provide high fault coverage on the Xilinx device.
