Automatic test pattern generation for functional register-transfer level circuits using assignment decision diagrams.

Automatic test pattern generation for functional register-transfer level circuits using assignment decision diagrams.

In this paper, we present an algorithm for generating test patterns automatically from functional register-transfer level (RTL) circuits that target detection of stuck-at faults in the circuit at the logic level. In order to do this, we utilize a data structure named assignment decision diagram that...
