Concurrent Stimulus and Defect Magnitude Optimization for Detection of Weakest Shorts and Opens in Analog Circuits

We present a methodology for algorithmic generation of test signals for thedetection and diagnosis of a variety of short and open-circuit defects in analogcircuits. Prior algorithms have focused on test generation for known short oropen defect …

DE-LOC: Design Validation and Debugging under Limited Observation and Control, Pre- and Post-Silicon for Mixed-Signal Systems

In the modern mixed-signal SoC design cycle, designers are frequently tasked with detecting and diagnosing behavioral discrepancies between design descriptions given at different levels of hierarchy, e.g. behavioral vs. transistor level descriptions …
