  • Abstract
    An algorithm is presented for generating minimal-cardinality test sets for logic networks composed of exclusive-OR gates arranged in a structure that can be described in the form of a connected acyclic graph. It is assumed that 2" unique input combinations are required to test an n-input (n>or=2) exclusive-OR gate. The algorithm requires no lookup tables. The method is suitable for automation but can also be performed manually even for large networks\´.
