ABSTRACT:
A method for testing a circuit includes determining at least one performance characteristic of the circuit based on a functional relationship between excitation signals or on a functional relationship between measurement devices. The method is implemented either as a part of a built-in self test circuit of an integrated circuit or for production testing.
