Abstract
This paper proposes a non-scan gate-level Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) methodology which keeps the regularity in the arithmetic operations while reasoning about these operations for generating high-level test patterns from only faulty behavior of the design. Then by considering generated high-level test patterns as constraints and passing them to a SMT-solver we are able to automatically and efficiently generate gate-level test patterns. Experimental results show robustness and reliability of our method compared to other contemporary methods in terms of the fault coverage and CPU time.
