K. Saab et al., LIMSOFT - AUTOMATED TOOL FOR SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS AND TEST VECTOR GENERATION, IEE proceedings. Circuits, devices and systems, 143(6), 1996, pp. 386-392
In analogue circuits, deviation in component values causes deviation i
n the measured output parameters. The relation between the two deviati
ons is the sensitivity function. The paper presents an automated sensi
tivity analysis tool called LIMSoft, based on the adjoint network meth
od which offers the possibility of DC, AC and transient sensitivity co
mputation. The sensitivity value is then used for soft-fault test vect
or generation.
