The present specification is related to analysis of digital circuits for assessing a fault sensitivity of a digital logic circuit. An example method includes: obtaining a set of input vectors that represent possible inputs to the digital logic circuit; for each output gate of the plurality of digital logic gates: (i) for each input vector of the set of input vectors, determining a cumulative output delay for the output gate, and (ii) determining an averaged cumulative output delay for the output gate by averaging the cumulative output delays for the output gate that were determined for multiple input vectors of the set of input vectors; generating a fault sensitivity score for the digital logic circuit based on the averaged cumulative output delays for the output gates of the digital logic circuit; and providing the fault sensitivity score.
