Analog and Mixed-Signal Test

The comprehensive guide to analog and mixed-signal IC testing.

Increasingly, ICs contain both analog and digital circuitry, making the testing process extremely challenging. This comprehensive guide reviews all the potential testing options for analog and mixed-signal ICs, enabling designers, engineers, CAD developers and researchers to choose the most cost-effective, accurate solution. It outlines the state-of-the-art in analog testing, and covers both major alternatives in-depth: specification-based test and fault model-based test.

• Includes contributions from leading researchers worldwide
• Provides comprehensive references for further research
• Fault modeling, fault simulation and test generation techniques
• Extensive coverage of design-for-test techniques
• Best methods for spectral-based built-in self test

Understand which digital testing techniques and algorithms are applicable to analog and mixed-signal circuitry, and which must be modified. Review fault modeling in detail, especially inductive fault analysis. Learn how to implement the 1194.4 Standard Mixed-Signal Test Bus, understanding its test functions, capabilities, potential benefits and costs. Finally, take a careful look at the testing and design issues associated with CMOS switched-current circuits.

Analog and Mixed-Signal Test is the essential tutorial and reference for all electrical engineers designing or testing circuits and devices with analog components.
