摘要
The purpose of th is paper is to analyze an optimization method to improve the testability of structural and parametric faults in analog circuits. The approach consists of finding an optimum sub-set of tests which maximizes the fault coverage with minimum cost. The method is based on covering a discrete set of intervals by taking advantage of strategies effectively used in digital synthesis. A simple application example is given to illustrate the proposal by studying the fault coverage obtained using different test sets on the ITC97 benchmark op-amp.
