摘要:
A method for testing the functionality of an electronic flight bag (EFB) has been developed. First a communication link is established between the EFB and a central maintenance computer (CMC). Next, a power loss presence test is initiated for the EFB. This test determines if critical applications of the EFB are recovered during a restart after a power loss. If the EFB fails the test, a failure message is transmitted to the CMC. Next, a communication bus test is initiated for the EFB. The communication bus test determines if adequate communication links exist between the EFB and a data source for critical applications. If the EFB fails the test, a failure message is transmitted to the CMC.

The invention relates to integrated circuits comprising a monolithically integrated logic IC and a monolithically integrated interface circuit that is conductively connected to the logic IC. The electrical properties of said interface circuit are programmable. The interface circuit also has a lower integration density than the logic IC, and comprises monitoring modules for monitoring the logic ICs.

An integrated circuit 1 comprises a timing closure monitoring circuit 2. The timing closure monitoring circuit 2 comprises a duplicate path 19, having the same characteristics as a logic path 3 being monitored. The duplicate path 19 receives a pulsed reference signal 23 from a reference generating unit (RGU) 24. The pulsed reference signal 23 is synchronized with the clock signal 13, and passed through the duplicate path 19 to a reference checking unit (RCU) 25. In a normal mode of operation in which timing closure is guaranteed, the clock signal 13 will sample the pulsed reference signal 23, such that no interrupt signal is generated on the interrupt line 33. However, in the situation where the reference check unit 25 is clocked by the clock signal 13 prior to the pulsed reference signal 23 being received via the duplicate path 19, an interrupt signal is generated on the interrupt line 33, indicating that timing closure cannot be guaranteed.
摘要:
A method is described for reducing delays in an analogue simulation model of a hardware circuit. The method comprises the steps of stimulating via an input an output of said analogue model, said output and said input having a relatively high resistance therebetween and applying a pulse to a relatively low resistance, whereby when said pulse is applied to the relatively low resistance, the input is connected to said output via the relatively low resistance so that the time constant of the circuit is reduced.
