Summary:A set of 31 digital sequential circuits described at the gate
level is presented. These circuits extend the size and complexity of the
ISCAS'85 set of combinational circuits and can serve as benchmarks for
researchers interested in sequential test generation, scan-based test
generation, and mixed sequential/scan-based test generation using
partial scan techniques. Although all the benchmark circuits are
sequential, synchronous, and use only D-type flip-flops, additional
interior faults and asynchronous behavior can be introduced by
substituting for some or all of the flip-flops their appropriate
functional models. The standard functional model of the D flip-flop
provides a reference point that is independent of the faults particular
to the flip-flop implementation. A testability profile of the benchmarks
in the full-scan-mode configuration is discussed
