Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Quasi-Delay-Insensitive(QDI) design has been attracting attention as one of the practical techniques for implementation of asynchronous circuits. This paper deals with QDI circuits converted from synchronous circuits. A converted circuit has latches, combinational logic blocks, and completion detectors. Since these components include C-elements which have bi-stability and the circuit has feedback loops for handshaking between latches, test generation of the circuits is difficult. In this study, we categorize the causes of difficulty and propose a solution for each problem, for improving fault coverage and reducing test generation time using commercial test generation tools.
