Extreme Delay Sensitivity and the Worst-Case Switching Activity in VLSI Circuits
Abstract We observe that the switching activity at a circuit node, also called the transition density, can be extremely sensitive to the circuit internal delays. As a result, sligh...

Application of genetically engineered finite-state-machine sequences to sequential circuit ATPG
—New methods for fault-effect propagation and state justification that use finite-state-machine sequences are proposed for sequential circuit test generation. Distinguishing se...
