            Abstract : 
Summary form only given.A significant portion of mixed-signal integrated systems is already used in safety-critical applications, such as transportation. It has often to operate under harsh environmental conditions for a long time (aging). One example is car electronics for the future generation of drive-by-wire. As a result the electronics used here has to be resilient for aging. As the mission profile of e.g. a car is difficult to predict upfront, periodic evaluation is required of key parameters of the functional blocks. This data can subsequently be used for recalibration or self-repair. This talk will show several options for dependable design of mixed-signal integrated systems, including sensors.
