Apparatus and method for pseudorandom rare event injection to improve verification quality

A rare-event injector for generating events in an integrated circuit has circuitry for generating a pseudorandom sequence of events. This pseudorandom sequence of events is injected into circuitry of the integrated circuit to stimulate error handling and recovery circuitry of the integrated circuit.
