Abstract

This paper presents a method to increase the observability of analog circuits through the use of a statistical sampler. This sampler acquires statistical properties of the input signal. Its main advantages are simplicity, low analog area overhead and suitability to multi-channel acquisition, as only one bit samplers are used. This qualifies it for use in a System-On-Chipenvironment. The application of the statistical sampler to the test of analog circuits in a SOC environment is presented.
