Practical Oscillation-Based Test of Integrated Filters

Oscillation-based test (OBT) techniques show promise in detecting faults in mixed-signal circuits and require little modification. to the circuit under test. Comparing both the oscillation's amplitude and frequency yields acceptable test quality. OBT seems especially appealing for filters but requires adaptation to handle monolithic circuits or the analog-core-based design of complex mixed-signal ICs.
