An application of the ATPG-based method by Veneris et al. [11] to multi-level combinational logic circuit delay and power optimization is presented. A number of theoretical results and various heuristics are described to allow for an efficient implementation of the algorithm. Experiments confirm the robustness of the approach.

Keywords: VLSI, logic optimization, low power, design performance, diagnosis
