A waveform polynomial for a digital circuit integrates both logic and timing information. It is applicable to design verification and test. This paper introduces a compact and manageable form, BPBDD, to represent and manipulate Boolean process based on BDDs, and shows how to construct a BPBDD representing a waveform polynomial for a given circuit. Experimental results show that BPBDD is capable of handling circuits of middle size efficiently. Although it is more complicated than OBDDs, more information about a circuit is available.
