Abstract

In this paper, we address the problem of correcting a combinational circuit that is an incorrect implementation of a given specification. Most existing error-correction approaches can only handle circuits with certain types of errors. Here, we propose a general approach that can correct a circuit with multiple errors without assuming any error model. We identify internal equivalent pairs to narrow down the possible error locations using local BDD's with dynamic support. We also employ a technique called back-substitution to correct the circuit incrementally. This approach can also be used to verify circuit equivalence. The experimental results of correcting fully SIS-optimized benchmark circuits with a number of injected errors will be presented.
