Abstract

We describe algorithms and data structures for accurate and efficient computation of path delay fault coverage. Our method uses an interval-based representation of consecutively numbered path delay faults. We describe a modified 2-3 tree data structure to store and manipulate these intervals to keep track of tested faults. Some results obtained using non-robust simulation of benchmark circuits suggest the viability of this approach.
