GLAMOROUS ANALOG TESTABILITY - WE ALREADY TEST THEM AND SHIP THEM - SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

Despite historically being one of the first areas to benefit from automation, analog circuit test poses particular challenges to modern test technology. In fact, contemporary analog test seems to represent a niche area for which solutions are always future ones. Yet, analog circuits are being mass-produced at astounding rates (whether within more complex digital IC's or as purely analog parts). This apparent paradox is addressed in this panel, which adopts a problem-solving approach to defining and addressing the analog test domain.
