Abstract :
The paper is the result of the authors activities concerning the testing and the design for testability for computer arithmetic systems. By applying the C-testability concept which is presented in, we present a method of identifying a minimal complete set of test vectors for detecting all single stuck-at faults for a pyramidal carry lookahead adder, of any size, together with our results.
