Abstract

The existence of feedback loops in RTL structures appears as a source of problems when we search for the way in which the test will be applied. Thus, the problem of loops identification becomes an important task during RTL testability analysis. An approach utilising PROLOG tools will be presented in the paper. First, the transformation of VHDL description into the structure which can be further processed by means of PROLOG tools will be presented. The transformation is provided in two steps. The algorithms enabling to identify feedback loops operating on the structure will be then described.
