Abstract

The test of high-order switched-capacitors (SC) ladder filters by means of the oscillation-based test (OBT) is presented in this work. Particularly, we addressed the problem of testing 5^th and 7 ^th order low-pass Butterworth and elliptic filters. We focused our attention on the ability of OBT for detecting deviation-faults in the capacitors present in the filter structure. The describing function approach is used for analyzing the system, obtaining a very good prediction of the oscillation parameters for all the oscillation modes employed in the paper
