FDP: fault detection probability function for analog circuits
نویسندگان
چکیده
In analog integrated circuits, process variations result in physical parameter variations. Simulated performance values must then be considered with their tolerance intervals. Consequently, contrarily to digital circuits where the outputs are either ’0’ or ’1’ such that we can decide without ambiguity whether a fault is detectable or not, for analog circuits fault detectability is still a vague problem since the fault can either be completely detectable, partially detectable or completely undetectable which makes it very difficult to take a decision. In order to solve this decision problem, we have introduced the fault detection probability (FDP) function which allows to formalize the problem of analog fault detection subjected to parameter variations.

متن کاملApplication of asymmetrical periodic signals as test vectors for analog fault detection: a novel perspective of classical concepts
Analog fault diagnosis is a field of paramount importance, and test signal generation is an important prerequisite for analog fault detection. Several stimuli have been used as input test vectors. This study presents a novel approach for the adoption of classical methods and signals for fault detection. This involves the use of asymmetrical periodic signals and comparison of their effectivity i...
متن کاملTesting effort dependent software reliability model for imperfect debugging process considering both detection and correction
This paper studies the fault detection process (FDP) and fault correction process (FCP) with the incorporation of testing effort function and imperfect debugging. In order to ensure high reliability, it is essential for software to undergo a testing phase, during which faults can be detected and corrected by debuggers. The testing resource allocation during this phase, which is usually depicted...
متن کاملDynamic Supply Current Testing of Analog Circuits Using Wavelet Transform
Dynamic supply current (IDD) analysis has emerged as an e ective way for defect oriented testing of analog circuits. In this paper, we propose using wavelet decomposition of IDD for fault detection in analog circuits. Wavelet transform has the property of resolving events in both time and frequency domain simultaneously unlike fourier expansion which localizes a signal in terms of frequency onl...
