Evolution of Combinatonial and Sequential On-Line Self-Diagnosing Hardware

The evolution of circuits with on-line built-in self-test is attempted in simulation for a full adder, a two bit multiplier and an edge triggered D-Latch. Results show that evolved designs perform full diagnosis using less or equal number of components than hand-designed equivalents.
