Rare-event injector for generating event, has circuitry that couples output of one circuitry to another circuitry for coupling events into circuitry of integrated circuit to stimulate error handling and recovery circuitry

摘要

The injector has a first circuitry generating pseudorandom sequence of inputs with an output. Second circuitry couples the output of the first circuitry for generating a pseudorandom sequence of events to a third circuitry for coupling events into circuitry of an integrated circuit to stimulate error handling and recovery circuitry of the integrated circuit. An Independent claim is also included for a method of design verification of an integrated circuit.
