We describe a method for on-chip generation of weighted test sequences for synchronous sequential circuits. For combinational circuits, three weights, 0, 0.5 and 1, are sufficien...
Iterative retiming and resynthesis is a powerful way to optimize sequential circuits but its massive adoption has been hampered by the hardness of verification. This paper tackle...

This paper focuses on checking safety properties for sequential circuits specified on the RT-level. We study how different state encodings can be used to create a gate-level repr...
Current paper presents new alternatives for accelerating the task of fault simulation for sequential circuits by hardware emulation on FPGA. Fault simulation is an important subta...

—This paper introduces a new class of sequential circuits called acyclically testable sequential circuits which is wider than the class of acyclic sequential circuits but whose t...
Test vector ordering is recognized as a simple and non-intrusive approach to assist test power reduction. Simulation based test vector ordering approach to minimize circuit transit...
The Alloy tool-set has been gaining popularity as an alternative to traditional manual testing and checking for design correctness. Alloy uses a first-order relational logic for m...
