Abstract :
The IEEE Mixed-Signal Technical Activity Committee is developing a common set of benchmark circuits for use in researching and evaluating analog fault modeling, test generation, design-for-test, and built-in self-test methodologies. The first release circuits are based on MITEL Semiconductor´s 1.5 μm and 1.2 μm CMOS technologies and they will allow engineers and researchers working in analog and mixed-signal testing to compare test results as is done in the digital domain. This paper presents a set of typical circuits described by netlists in HSPICE format. Schematic diagrams, simulation results and measured results, if available, are provided together with layout and a typical test environment. The full details are available on the web page dedicated to analog and mixed-signal benchmarks
