keywords DEPENDABLE SYSTEM DESIGN, FPGA

Reference persons LUCA STERPONE

Research Groups ELECTRONIC CAD & RELIABILITY GROUP - CAD

Thesis type RESEARCH, INNOVATIVE

Description The activity of the present thesis is oriented to the development of techniques able to evaluate the dependability of FPGA devices with respect to errors induced by ionizing particles. The FPGA devices addressed in the thesis is the last generation ones: Xilinx Kintex-7. The goal of the thesis is the development of a method able to accurately compute an error computation of a device used in safety critical application field (from the aerospace and avionic, to the automotive or biomedical) and to compute the average error rate or soft error rate (SER). The thesis is performed in collaboration with Xilinx Ireland, Dublin.

Required skills VHDL, C/C++, ASM

Notes Thesis in collaboration with Xilinx Ireland (Dublin)
