Nowadays the production testing of the analog portion on SoC (system on chip) devices heavily depends on LSI tester capability. However this approach is expensive and will become harder in near future. This paper proposes a new approach for the analog portion testing, which can meet requirements for high-speed and high-accuracy testing simultaneously with reasonable cost. The key concept of the new method is cooperation of an LSI tester and some circuitry built in a target SoC device. We explain the operation principle of the proposed method, and show the effectiveness of the proposed method through simulation.
