Abstract :
The sneak circuit analysis tool (SCAT) provides a PC-based system for real-time identification (during the design phase) of sneak paths and design concerns. The tool utilizes an expert system shell to assist the analyst so that prior experience with sneak analysis is not necessary for performance. Both sneak circuits and design concerns are targeted by this tool, with both digital and analog circuits being examined. SCAT focuses the analysis at the assembly level, rather than the entire system, so that most sneak problems can be identified and corrected by the responsible design engineer in a timely manner. The SCAT program identifies the sneak circuits to the designer, who then decides what course of action is necessary
