Symposium on Circuits and Systems, pp. They subsequently have been used by many researchers as a basis for comparing results in the area of test generation. C499 and C1355 are functionally equivalent. One reason for this is that it contains information not present in most other netlist formats. Each time a gate is traversed, en route to a primary output, the level is incremented by one.
Nodes are in no particular order within a given level.
This is valuable for test generation purposes and must be extracted from other, more generic, netlists. These first five lines are comments. However, there are two other types of lines that may be associated with it. The fanin line provides a list of the addresses of the nodes that fan in to the gate driving this node. It always appears immediately after its associated node line.
