Abstract :
A technique for sensitizing faults in analog circuits by varying the supply voltage and monitoring the supply current is discussed. The detection of short circuit faults is demonstrated with a simple CMOS circuit. The technique is applied to a larger analog circuit and significantly improved fault cover is obtained.
