Abstract

Multiple parametric faults due to normal process variations are extremely important for analog circuits. Very few analog DFT techniques target multiple parametric faults. In this paper we present a DFT scheme that targets high performance analog circuits. In particular, are target a popular switched-capacitor based A/D converter. The DFT scheme is based on an analog-to-digital capacitor ratio converter circuit. The circuit is used to completely characterize the transfer function of a charge redistribution A/D converter. Extensive simulation results that include practical process variations are used to verify our DFT scheme.
