State justification is a time-consuming operation in test generation for sequential circuits. In this paper, we present a technique to rapidly identify state elements (flip-flops)...
—Optimizing sequential cycles is essential for many types of high-performance circuits, such as pipelines for packet processing. Retiming is a powerful technique for speeding pip...

Due to aggressive technology scaling, VLSI circuits are becoming increasingly susceptible to transient errors caused by single-event-upsets (SEUs). In this paper, we introduce two...
A low overhead DFT technique, called clock-grouping, for delay testing of sequential synchronous circuits is presented. The proposed technique increases robust path delay fault co...
