SUMMARYA method for fault detection probability estimation using statistical multi-parameter circuit simulation is proposed, in order to check circuits for which double or multiple analogue measurements are utilized. Theoretical analysis for the estimation of the fault coverage is given, based on conditional probability calculations. The proposed method can be applied for both test measurement and input stimulus selection. Simulation results from the application of the method on typical analogue circuits-filter and amplifierare given, showing a sufficient improvement over the fault coverage achieved by single measurements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
