Abstract:

Network-on-chip communication architecture need be tested for ensuring proper communication between the IP cores in NoC.Against functional test for the mesh NoC,BIST for NoC communication architecture was proposed in the paper.The method need add BIST modules in NI,which were test pattern generator（TPG）and test response analyzer（TRA）,exploit TPG to generate test data and TRA to capture response in order to achieve test.The result shows that,the method,in the case of smaller area overhead,can reduce test cost and time.

Key words: network on chip, communication architecture, functional test, BIST
