In this paper, we propose a new robust approach to signal backtrace for efficiently testing embedded analog modules in a large system. The proposed signal backtrace method is form...
This work presents a new diagnosis method for use in an adaptive analog tester. The tester is able to detect faults in any linear circuit by learning a reference behavior in a fir...
This paper presents a methodology suited for high frequency analog IC design. The use of a top-down method with AHDL for circuit designers is proposed. In order to accelerate the ...
This paper presents a comparative analysis of neural networks, simulated annealing, and genetic algorithms in the determination of input patterns for testing analog circuits. The ...
We present techniques for improving the accuracy of geometric-programming (GP) based analog circuit design optimization. We describe major sources of discrepancies between the res...
