On the self-testing (m,n)-code checker design

We propose an approach to a self-testing (m, n)-code checker design, based on subdividing the set of all code words into special subsets called segments. The checker circuit is constructed by using one- and two-output configurable logic blocks (CLB). Previously, in each output of a CLB, a function representing exactly one segment was implemented. In the proposed approach, at each CLBs output, it is possible to implement functions that represent several segments and to provide the self-testing property. It allows reducing the number of CLBs and simplifying the circuit of the checker.
