Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose an integrated Synthesis for Testability (SfT) and a test generation method of Finite State Machines (FSM). The SfT method produces an easily testable sequential circuit for a given FSM description of the circuit while taking into consideration the features of a high speed sequential test generator. The SfT method guarantees that the test generator will be able to find a state distinguishing sequence by making the FSM reduced. Whereas, the performance of the test generator is improved as it uses the state justification sequence extracted from the completely specified state transition function of the FSM produced by the synthesizer. Experimental results show that the proposed integrated approach can completely identify each fault in the circuit, detectable or redundant, and can achieve this 100% fault efficiency in a short test generation time.
