Abstract
Classical testing of combinational circuits requires a list of the fault-free response of the circuit to the test set. For most practical circuits implemented today the large storage requirement for such a list makes such a test procedure very expensive. This paper describes a method of designing combinational circuits in such a way that their test procedure will require the knowledge of only one characteristic of the fault-free circuit, called the syndrome. This solves the storage problem associated with the test procedure. It is shown that the syndrome-testable design is inexpensive and can be easily implemented by the logic designer.
