Abstract

A novel implementation structure of linear finite statemachines, named tree-structured linear cellular automata (TLCA), isintroduced. The structures and operations of TLCA are defined. Theminimal cost maximum length machines and their implementationprocedure are given. Our empirical study on the ISCAS‘85 benchmarkcircuits shows the effectiveness of TLCA for testing stuck-open anddelay faults.
