Abstract :
A fault coverage method for digital system-on-chip by means of traversal the logic block matrix to repair the FPGA components is proposed. A method enables to obtain the solution in the form of quasioptimal coverage for all faulty blocks by minimum number of spare tiles. A choice one of two traversal strategies for rows or columns of a logic block matrix on the basis of the structurization criteria, which determine a number of faulty blocks, reduced to the unit modified matrix of rows or columns is realized.
