Abstract
This paper presents parametric fault diagnosis in mixed-signal analog circuit using artificial neural networks. Single parametric faults are considered in this study. A benchmark R2R digital to analog converter circuit has been used as an example circuit for experimental validations. The input test pattern required for testing are reduced to optimum value using sensitivity analysis of the circuit under test. The effect of component tolerances has also been taken care of by performing the Monte-Carlo analysis. In this study parametric fault models are defined for the R2R network of the digital to analog converter. The input test patterns are applied to the circuit under test and the output responses are measured for each fault model covering all the Monte-Carlo runs. The classification of the parametric faults is done using artificial neural networks. The fault diagnosis system is developed in LabVIEW environment in the form of a virtual instrument. The artificial neural network is designed using MATLAB and finally embedded in the virtual instrument. The fault diagnosis is validated with simulated data and with the actual data acquired from the circuit hardware.
