Delay testing becomes very important as the complexity and the performance of the VLSI increase. Since test generation is cpu-intensive process, various ways to improve the test generation speed have been proposed and tried regardless the types of fault model. This paper presents a simple and efficient method for accelerating test pattern generation process for gate delay faults in combinational circuits. We implemented several delay test pattern generators and ran on ISCAS-85 benchmark circuits. The result showed improved performance in test pattern generation for gate delay faults.
