Abstract(in English) RTL (Register Transfer Level) fault diagnosis technique based on backtracking the node in Assignment Decision Diagrams (ADDs) has been proposed. And two types of integrated diagnosis system have been proposed. One of them is the system that narrows down the fault candidate hierarchically to gate-level from RTL. The other system is that RTL diagnosis handles RTL libraries in a gate-level diagnosis. In this paper, RTL libraries diagnosis capability was discussed using several benchmark circuits and library circuits. The result imply that the calculation time of the RTL diagnosis would become effectively shorter than the one of the gate-level diagnosis, if the number of nodes in ADD become less than the one in a gate-level netlist.
