P. Collins et al., APPLICATION OF KOHONEN AND SUPERVISED FORCED ORGANIZATION MAPS TO FAULT-DIAGNOSIS IN CMOS OPAMPS, Electronics Letters, 30(22), 1994, pp. 1846-1847
Transistors with gate oxide shorts have been identified to 100% fault
coverage in a CMOS opamp by monitoring supply current changes first us
ing multilayer perceptrons and then Kohonen maps to resolve any ambigu
ities. A supervised forced organisation map allows the location and re
sistance of the short to be determined.
