Abstract:Recently, a method for transformation of combinational circuits into a corresponding backwarddetermining structure was proposed in order to implement the backtrace algorithm into hardware. This structure is designed to find all possible assignments of values to primary inputs for achieving selected objectives. It differs from the known backtrace algorithms used in ATPG tools, where only the first valid assignment is found. A new proposed method, presented in this paper, extends the backward-determining structu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
