Keywords: C-testability, ILAs, single stuck-at faults

Abstract
The paper is the result of the authors’ activities concerning the testing and the design for
testability for Computer arithmetic systems. Our already published results [5][6][7], together with the Ctestable
concept, are very important in testing other kinds of practical adders, which includes cells with CLA units. So, by applying the C-testability concept which is presented in [3][8] we present a method for identifying a minimal complete set of test vectors for detecting all single stuck-at faults for the Superblock Block Carry-Lookahead Adder (SBCLA)), together with our results.
