Improving the testability and reliability of sequential circuits with invariant logic
In this paper, we investigate dual applications for logic implications, which can provide both online error detection capabilities and improve the testing efficiency of an integr...

Improving testability and soft-error resilience through retiming
State elements are increasingly vulnerable to soft errors due to their decreasing size, and the fact that latched errors cannot be completely eliminated by electrical or timing ma...

Identification of unsettable flip-flops for partial scan and faster ATPG
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)...

A new state assignment technique for testing and low power
In order to improve the testabilities and power consumption, a new state assignment technique based on m-block partition is introduced in this paper. The length and number of feed...
