A functional testing of analogue electronic circuits with the use of specification approximation in the time-domain response features space

This paper presents a method for specification driven testing of analogue electronic circuits. The method is based on utilisation of tested circuit response features to a test stimulus. Delaunay's triangulation is employed for the purpose of finding tested circuit specifications values in spaces defined with response features. Specification maps are used for the purpose of estimating the tested circuits performance quality. A neural network classifier has been utilised to make a decision whether the circuit is fully functional.
