Mixed-Signal Test
An Introduction to Mixed-Signal IC Test and Measurement Author(s): Mark Burns, Gordon W. Roberts This book encompasses the testing of both analog and mixed-signal circuits including many borderline examples.

In considering the applications of this technology, the testing of large-scale mixed-signal circuits and individual circuits is introduced. The book assumes a solid background in analog and digital circuits as well as a working knowledge of computers and computer programming. A background in digital signal processing and statistical analysis is also helpful, though not absolutely necessary.

Test and Design-for-Testability in Mixed-Signal Integrated Circuits Author(s): Jose L. Huertas The book covers test and design for test of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits. Especially in System-on-Chip (SoC), where different technologies are intertwined (analog, digital, sensors, RF); test is becoming a true bottleneck of present and future IC projects. Linking design and test in these heterogeneous systems will have a tremendous impact in terms of test time, cost and proficiency. Although it is recognized as a key issue for developing complex ICs, there is still a lack of structured references presenting the major topics in this area. The aim of this book is to present basic concepts and new ideas in a manner understandable for both professionals and students.

DSP-Based Testing of Analog and Mixed-Signal Circuits Author(s): Matt Mahoney Answers the commonly asked questions about how digital signal processing-based machines work and what role DSP plays in the process. It shows you how DSP performs in real-test situations and uses mathematical concepts rather than derivations. The text addresses difficult test problems and their solutions resulting from the union of automatic test equipment (ATE) and DSP. The author establishes a philosophy of DSP-based testing describing how to think, how to approach a problem, how to create a solution, and how to determine if it really works properly.
