Abstract(in English) In hierarchical test generation [2] for large scale VLSIs, some methods for designing strong testable RTL data paths have been proposed [3], [4], [5]. The method attenpts to generate a controlling forest withoout time conflict, which requires additional hold functions. To enhance the effectiveness of the method [4] , high-level synthesis for the method [4] is desired. In this paper we propose a register binding algorithm of high-level synthesis. We define an influence of primary input over a RTL datapath, and bind compatible registers together in order to balance all the influences of primary input. It is effective in reducing the number of hold functions in the datapath designed by the method [4], The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can generate datapaths for the method [4]
