Method for checking conformity to a standard of a representative module of a circuit dedicated to management of a communications protocol, and system for implementing it

摘要

Method and apparatus for checking conformity to a predetermined standard of a representative defined module of a circuit dedicated to management of a communications protocol, which module has been optimized in advance for a given application. The disclosure features duplicating the module with a view to generating several duplicated modules which are identical to the module and operatively connecting the duplicated modules to a network bus. Each duplicated module is configured differently according to definitions contained in the standard, so that the set of configured modules is representative of real operating conditions of the designed circuit. Bus signals are applied to the network, which signals are representative of frames in accordance with the standard and abnormal or parasitic signals, and the respective responses from each of the configured modules are collected back for analysis.
