Abstract
The authors present techniques which guarantee both hazard-free operation and hazard-free robust path-delay-fault testability at the expense of possibly adding test inputs. They also give a set of heuristics which can improve hazard-free robust path-delay-fault testability without requiring such inputs. Finally, they demonstrate the effectiveness of these techniques on a set of asynchronous interface circuits gathered from industry and academia.<>
