  • Programmable integrated circuit with internal diagnostic hardware
    Patent number: 11092647
    Abstract: A programmable integrated circuit may include logic, signal select hardware, programmable signal analysis hardware, an embedded microcontroller, and a hardware interface. The logic performs one or more functions and outputs a plurality of signals. The signal select hardware selects one or more of the signals output from the logic. The programmable signal analysis hardware analyzes the selected signals to produce diagnostic data. The embedded microcontroller receives the diagnostic data from the programmable signal analysis hardware and may reconfigure the logic based on the diagnostic data. The hardware interface connects the programmable signal analysis hardware and the embedded microcontroller to transport the diagnostic data.
