A Unified Decomposition Approach for Fault Location in Large Analog Circuits
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the problem of fault location in analog circuits. The circuit under test is decomposed into subnetworks using nodes at which voltages have been measured. We localize the faults to within the smallest possible subnetworks according to the final decomposition. Then, further identification of the faulty elements. Inside the subnetworks is carried out. The method is applicable to M&networks, linear or nonlinear. It requires alif measurement nodes and its on-line computation requirements are minimal. The method is based on checking the consistency of KCL in the decomposed circuit. A measure of the effect of tolerances on the elements is introduced, and a number of examples are considered to illustrate the application of the method in both the linear and the nonlinear cases.

A decomposition method for analog fault location
In this paper, fault location in large analog networks by decomposition method is generalized to include subnetworks not explicitly testable. Assume that the network topology and nominal values of network components are known and the network-undertest is partitioned into subnetworks once for all. The decomposition nodes could be either the accessible nodes whose nodal voltages can be measured o...

In this paper, a method of low power analog testing is proposed. In spite of having Oscillation Based Built in Self-Test methodology (OBIST), a look up table based (LUT) low power testing approach has been proposed to find out the faulty circuit and also to sort out the particular fault location in the circuit. In this paper an operational amplifier, which is the basic building block in the ana...
