Abstract

An algorithm for the generation of tests for analog integrated circuits is proposed. It starts from a generated fault list and ranges specified by the user and determines optimal test signals that maximize the detectability of all faults. As statistical fluctuations have to be considered when evaluating analog circuits, it is based on a statistical test criterion. Two examples demonstrate the practical use and versatility of this approach.
