PO
Gates near to PO are easy to observe compared to gates near to
PI
These issues leads us to the theory of controllability & observability
Controllability and
Observability
Combinational measures
Roughly proportional to # circuit lines that must be set to control or
observe given line
Sequential measures
Roughly proportional to # times a flip-flop must be clocked to control or
observe given line
Combinational measures:
CC0 Difficulty of setting circuit line to logic 0
CC1 Difficulty of setting circuit line to logic 1
CO Difficulty of observing a circuit line
SC1, SO
RANGE
Controllabilities
infinity (hardest)
1 (easiest) to
Levelization algorithm
Label each gate with maximum no. of logic levels from
maximum of them + 1
Else, requeue the gate
Helps in deciding the path for performing SCOAP algorithm
for a given circuit
Controllability Calculations
For each logic gate that we traverse, we add 1 to the
