Abstract
In order to improve the testabilities and power consumption, a
new state assignment technique based on m-block partition is
introduced in this paper. The length and number of feedback
cycles are reduced with minimal switching activity on the state
variables. Experiment shows significant improvement in power
dissipation and testabilities for benchmark circuits.
