Conversion Method of Description Files in Structural Testing of Digital Circuit

Abstract

With the continuous development of large-scale integrated circuit technology, the importance of structural testing and testability design for digital logic circuit has become increasingly evident. In the testing domain, Bench is the most commonly used formats to describe a measured circuit. In order to test the measured circuit using computer, files with various formats must be converted to a netlist file which can be identified by computer. Lev format is a common netlist file. This paper mainly discusses how to convert the Bench file into Lev file, and it is proved by testing program correctness and robustness.
