Abstract:
A method, system, and architecture ( 100 ) for adaptively field testing for hardware faults on an integrated circuit device includes a central quality assurance server ( 121 ) which receives specified hardware metric data ( 131 ) monitored at an integrated circuit device ( 110 ) in the field, identifies prioritized built-in self-test (BIST) fault detection tests ( 134 ) based on the specified hardware metric data, securely downloads the prioritized BIST fault detection tests ( 132 ) to the integrated circuit device for execution to identify a first hardware fault at the integrated circuit device, and then receives diagnosis information ( 133 ) identifying the first hardware fault from the integrated circuit device which is used to update the prioritized BIST fault detection tests.

Claim (Index 9):
A fault detection metrics device for detecting hardware faults in a system-on-chip (SoC) device, the fault detection metrics device comprising:\n one or more inputs connected to one or more corresponding output ports of a design block under test; an output connected to provide a first signal if no hardware fault is detected on the design block under test and to provide a second signal if a hardware fault is detected on the design block under test; and a hardware metrics monitor circuit connected to monitor the one or more inputs for specified hardware metrics for each of one or more functional tests run on the design block under test, the hardware metrics monitor circuit comprising:\n one or more monitoring circuits for monitoring specified hardware metrics at the one or more inputs, and \n an evaluation circuit connected to the one or more monitoring circuits for generating the first signal if no hardware fault is detected on the design block under test and for generating the second signal if a hardware fault is detected on the design block under test.
