Abstract
SPIN-PAC is a static test compaction method for speed-independent circuits. We demonstrate how the test sets can be compacted by combining multiple consecutive test vectors within a test sequence into a vector pair of higher Hamming distance, and by eliminating or pruning independent test sequences. We discuss the exponential nature of optimally solving this problem, we propose an efficient algorithm to approximate it, and we evaluate its performance through experiments.
