This book presents the basis for reusing the test vector generation and simulation for the purpose of implementation verification, to result in a significant timesaving. It brings the results in the direction of merging manufacturing test vector generation and verification.

1. DESIGN FLOW Integrated circuit (IC) complexity is steadily increasing. ICs incorporating hundreds of millions of transistors, mega-bit memories, complicated pipelined structures, etc., are now in high demand. For example, Intel Itanium II processor contains more than 200 million transistors, including a 3 MB third level cache. A billion transistor IC was said to be imminently doable by Intel fellow J. Crawford at Microprocessor Forum in October 2002 40]. Obviously, designing such complex circuits poses real challenges to engineers. Certainly, no relief comes from the competitive...
