Abstract (Summary of the Work)

Failure that cause logic circuits to malfunction at the desired clock rate and thus violate timing specifications are currently receiving much attention .Such failures are modeled as delay faults. They facilitate delay testing. Since design for testability is the approach followed now-a-days several synthesis for path delay fault (PDF) testability is studied in much depth. Local transformation is one such approach. A new approach for applying local transformations is considered here. This approach can be used along with the existing local transformation approaches to get better results.Additionally , a software implementation of the proposed algorithm is also considered here and the experimental results are quiet attractive in comparison to existing local transformation algorithms.
