Fault diagnosis in analog and mixed mode low testability system

چکیده
This paper describes our views on how to detect faults in low testability analog or mixed mode (analog electro-mechanical) system. A new method is developed to identify a minimum number of faulty parameters in the system with ambiguities. From sensitivity analysis of the system, we can extract solution invariant matrix and identify singular cofactors of this matrix. The approach can be extended to the electro-mechanical systems, which combine electronic circuits with mechanical components.

متن کاملResearch on k-fault diagnosis and testability in analog circuit
Fault diagnosis is very important for development and maintenance of safe and reliable electronic circuits and systems. Many k-fault diagnosis methods were put forward such as branch method, node method, loop method, mesh method, cut set method. But the tolerance effect as well as non-linear problems exist and are difficult to deal with. A fault diagnosis method for analog circuit is proposed i...

متن کاملSwitch-Level Fault Coverage Analysis for Switched-Capacitor Systems
An approach to test optimization in switched-capacitor systems based on fault simulation at switch-level is presented in this paper. The advantage of fault simulation at this granularity level is that it facilitates test integration as early as possible in the design of these systems. Due to their mixed-signal nature, both catastrophic and parametric faults must indeed be considered for test op...
