Abstract :
This paper presents a set of guidelines for converting an analog circuit into an oscillator when oscillation-based test is applied to a mixed-signal integrated circuit. Low- and high-level rules are introduced based on experience. An example is used as a vehicle to demonstrate the system-level application of these techniques
