Abstract. This paper proposes a solution to achieve the global fault simulation for mixed-signal systems. Fault models for analog defects are introduced. Short-circuit defects, involving two digital nodes or involving a digital and an analog node, are also supported. Short-circuit modelling is achieved by a local analog simulation and by means of new mixed-signal models suggested for CMOS devices. Using a commercially available mixed-signal simulator, we built surrounding tools to automate the fault simulation. By processing the circuit description files, they allow generating and reducing a fault list and controlling the fault simulation. Simulation results are also processed in order to produce an exhaustivity report and a selection of the best test vectors.
