I want to know what is a bench mark circuit..?
How to give the inputs to a benchmark circuit.?
And how many inputs are there for the benchmark circuit S5378..?

1. The IEEE 1997 International Test Conference benchmark circuits are a set of analog and mixed-signal circuits provided for the evaluation and performance of different testing approaches.

2/3. The given circuit s5378 has 35 inputs, 49 outputs, 179 Dtype FF’s and 1775 inverters and 1004 other logic gates. This is an example of a rather large circuit in terms of combinational and sequential elements.

Thanks..And i want to know that for every clock cycle there is a 35 input and 49 output.?
