Abstract

Serial assertion checking is realized in a System On a Chip (SoC) device by connecting scan chain output to a bit extractor configured within a functionally reconfigurable module that is part of the SoC, which extracts the bits necessary for the assertion checking. The extracted bits are applied to a finite state machine that implements the assertion checking.
