The present a method for evaluating production fault tests for asynchronous circuits. A novel fault model is defined, based on a high-level circuit description, allowing the evaluation of production tests on the design level. This evaluation method is used in the test generation for an asynchronous 22 k transistor DCC error corrector IC, resulting in a fault coverage of 99.8%.
