| Abstract(in English) | When there are internal logic values in a combinational circuit that must be justified by a given input vector, necessary input values to justify them are expressed as a cube. In this paper we propose methods to extract a cube with the minimum number of specified values from an input vector. One is the case of justifying a single line value and the other is the case when the number of signal values to be justified is more than one. In the latter case, we utilize a BDD to extract the cube, and we reduce the problem to a shortest path problem. We also present how to reduce the size of BDDs used. The method can be used for finding test cubes with minimal numbers of specified bits in test vectors. Such test cubes can be used to achieve higher test data compression. |
