, where sequential elements like flip-flops are converted into shift registers to allow direct access to internal states. Built-in Self-Test (BIST):

The final design revision, "Athena-B3," had three new features: , where sequential elements like flip-flops are converted

Automated ATPG cuts down the months spent manually writing test benches to just a few days of automated software passes. , where sequential elements like flip-flops are converted

Modern ATPG tools utilize Boolean Satisfiability (SAT) solvers and path sensitization algorithms (such as D-Algorithm, PODEM, and FAN). These routines operate via a three-step mechanism: , where sequential elements like flip-flops are converted
