Abstract :
Earlier approaches dealt with the detection of catastrophic faults based on IDD monitoring. Consideration of the more subtle parametric faults and the ADC quantization noise, however, is essential for high-quality analog testing. The paper presents a new design method for analog test of parametric and catastrophic faults by IDD monitoring. ADC quantization noise is systematically considered throughout the method. Results prove its effectiveness
