Testability issues in analog cellular neural networks

Abstract

Addresses the problem of testing an ACNN by postulating the need of including some extra hardware to rend feasible a post-fabrication test. The work presented deals with a test methodology based on adding some extra circuitry to every cell of a regular ACNN. This methodology is just an initial proposal for taking an advantage of the network regularity to perform a global test that can be externally interpreted and, hence, has potential application for reconfiguring the network.<>
