Abstract :
Testing and diagnosis of analog and mixed-signal systems has received considerable attention in the last two decades and many theoretical approaches have been proposed. In this paper, an improvement of an earlier proposed scheme for the implementation of correlation-based comparison for testing analog signatures under the control of a microcontroller is described. The improved scheme may be included in any analog or mixed-signal system and may check its responses at selected test points. Demonstrative results from the application of the testing structure are given, showing its effectiveness and its convenient use
