The increased use of mixed analogue/digital circuits in VLSI designs has increased, enormously, the problems of testing these complex circuits. The problem is further compounded when these types of circuits are used in safety critical applications where there is a need to detect intermittent faults. The problem of intermittent fault detection has been solved to some extent for digital circuits, but...
