Abstract :
Fully delay testable circuits obtained by covering ROBDD nodes with Invert-AND-OR sub-circuits and Invert-AND-XOR sub-circuits implementing Shannon decomposition formula are considered. Algorithms of finding test pairs for robust testable PDFs and validatable non robust testable PDFs of resulted circuits have been developed. They have a polynomial complexity. Experimental results demonstrate essential simplification of suggested circuits in contrast to fully delay testable circuits obtained by covering each ROBDD node with only Invert-AND-XOR sub-circuit.
