International audienceWe present a method for diagnosing local spot defects in analog circuits. The method aims to identify a subset of defects that are likely to have occurred and suggests to give them priority in a classical failure analysis. For this purpose, the method relies on a combination of multiclass classifiers that are trained using data from fault simulation. The method is demonstrated on an industrial large-scale case study. The device under consideration is a controller area network transceiver used in automobile systems. This device demands high-quality control due to the reliability requirements of the application wherein it is deployed. The diagnosis problem is discussed by taking into consideration the realities of this case study
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
