The design of programmable logic architectures and supporting computer-aided design tools fundamentally requires both a good understanding of the combinatorial nature of netlist gr...

ABC is a public-domain system for logic synthesis and formal verification of binary logic circuits appearing in synchronous hardware designs. ABC combines scalable logic transforma...
This paper presents a new method of selecting scan
ipops (FFs) in partial scan designs of sequential circuits. Scan FFs are chosen so that the whole circuit can be partitioned in...
A central problem in functional verification is to check that a circuit block is producing correct outputs while enforcing that the environment is providing legal inputs. To attac...
This paper develops a novel approach for formally verifying both safety and liveness properties of designs using sequential ATPG tools. The properties are automatically mapped int...
