Abstract

We present a procedure to reduce sequential circuits by removing undetectable faults based on unreachable states. Procedures for obtaining unreachable states and for identifying undetectable faults which can be the target of fault removal are presented. Experimental results for ISCAS benchmark circuits are shown.
