Abstract
An apparatus and method are provided for identifying functionally sensitized data paths in a logic circuit and storing the identified data paths in a representation of the logic circuit. The representation of the logic circuit includes a single occurrence of each identified data path along with a variable for each single name or path segment identified. The variable represents a number of times that path segment or signal name was functionally sensitized.
