Abstract

The existence of loops in a circuit structure causes problems in both test generation and application. When nested loops occur in the circuit, it is necessary to break the most nested one(s) to improve circuit testability significantly, with minimal design cost. The paper deals with a new method of detecting and breaking loops in the register-transfer level (RTL) digital circuit structure.
