Electrical and Logic Isolation for Systems on a Chip
In described examples, an SoC includes at least two voltage domains interconnected with a communication bus. Detection logic in a first voltage domain determines when a voltage error occurs in a second voltage domain and isolates communication via the communication bus when a voltage error or a timing error is detected.
System and method for remote intelligent troubleshooting
System and method for autonomous trouble shooting of a unit under test (UUT) having a plurality of replaceable components include: a test station that stores an artificial intelligence (AI) program and a knowledge database (KDB) including acceptable test results for each test point represented by an acceptable test vector, a test probe to test the circuit card assembly; and an operator station to send commands to the test station via the communication network to teach the AI program to capture and store the acceptable test result for each test point of the UUT by the test probe, in the KDB, wherein the AI program commands the test probe to test the UUT, stores the test results in a test result vector, compares the test result vector with the stored acceptable test vector, and displays recommendation as which replaceable component in the UUT to be repaired or replaced.
Self-check system and method thereof
A self-check system and a method thereof are disclosed. In the self-check system, a memory stores a safety check program, a main application program and a predetermined checksum data. The safety check program include a circuit check program, a watchdog circuit reset program and a checksum check program. When a chip system is powered on, a processing unit executes the main application program, and then executes an interrupt call to generate an interrupt, so as to execute the safety check program and the circuit check program to check a to-be-checked circuit. The processing unit also executes the watchdog circuit reset program to reset a counting value of a watchdog circuit. The processing unit also executes the checksum check program to calculate a checksum data of the first safety check program, and reset the chip system when the calculated checksum data is not equal to the predetermined checksum data.
