Methods for automatic design error correction in sequential circuits

Given two circuits, one specification and the other design, a correspondence between states of the two circuits is first assumed or the circuits are expanded by several time frames. Based on that correspondence or expansion, the proposed methods try to automatically correct design errors by changing the part of the circuit which is specified by a designer. Experimental results show that the proposed method can be a very effective tool for FSM designs where small manual design modifications may happen frequently.<
