模拟集成电路的测试节点选择

Test Point Selection for Analog Integrated Circuit

如何寻求一个最佳的测试节点或测试矢量集是模拟集成电路的故障诊断中的重要问题。该文提出了一种基于可测性测度计算的测试节点选择方法。利用行列式判决图,可以有效而准确地求得被测电路传输函数的符号表达式和计算出其可测性测度。该方法完全消除了由数字方法引入的不可避免的舍入误差,并能处理中、大规模的集成电路.

How to select an optimum set of test points or test vectors has become very critical to analog integrated circuit fault diagnosis. A test point selection method based on testability measure is presented in this paper. Using Determinant Decision Diagrams (DDDs), symbolic transfer functions of circuit under test are constructed and its testability measure can be calculated exactly and efficiently. This method eliminates completely the unavoidable round-off errors introduced by numerical algorithms and can handle moderate or large integrated circuits.
