摘要
Sharing of logic among the various primary outputs of a circuit reduces the overall size of the circuit. However, shared logic may have adverse effects on the number of paths and on the path delay fault testability of the circuit. In this work, we propose a procedure to reverse the effects of logic sharing when it causes a significant increase in the number of paths and a significant reduction in testability. Experimental results show that the proposed procedure is apr effective preprocessing step of global optimization, that increases the effectiveness of resynthesis procedures based on local transformations.
