Accurate and fast testing of digital circuits is very much essential in real time applications. Hardware analysis of digital circuits, which is otherwise very tedious and time consuming, is attempted using the artificial intelligence technique: Genetic Algorithms (GA). GA is used to find an input sequence to a digital circuit for testing, as it reduces the hardware utilization, complexity and computational time of the circuits. All the GA processes are simulated and implemented by using Xilinx 10.1 and SPARTAN 3E.
