Abstract
This paper presents a general form and a set of basic gates to impleme nt (K+1)-valued PLA structure logic circuits. A complete fault analysi s on the proposed circuit has been done and it is shown that all fanou t stem faults can be collapsed to branch faults. A procedure for fault collapsing is derived. For any function implemented in the (K+1)-valu ed circuit, the number of remaining faults is smaller than that of the 2-valued circuit after the collapsing, where the value of K is depend ent on the number of outputs and the assignment of the OR plane of the 2-valued logic circuit.
