Abstract

In this work a BIST method for linear analog circuits with very low cost and the smallest possible analog overhead area is presented. The method is suitable to be implemented in the SoC environment, as it allows the reuse of resources already available in the system, and it is essentialy digital. Theoretical background is provided, and experimental results demonstrate the advantages and limits of the proposed approach.
