Abstract
Systems and methods for a deterministic automatic test generation (ATPG) process including Timing Exception ATPG (TEA). A method includes performing an automated test pattern generation (ATPG) process that uses timing exception information to generate a test pattern for a targeted fault of a circuit design with at least one timing exception path. The method includes testing the targeted fault of the circuit design using the test pattern to produce a test result for the targeted fault.
