Error detection device

An abnormality detection device includes: a coupling-capacitor having a first-end and a second-end coupled with a high-voltage circuit; a signal output unit; a signal extraction unit; and a signal input unit. The signal output unit is coupled with the first-end of the coupling-capacitor via a detection-resistor, and outputs an alternating-current inspection-signal. The signal extraction unit extracts the inspection-signal, as an extraction-signal, output between the detection-resistor and the coupling-capacitor. The signal input unit detects abnormality of insulation resistance of the high-voltage circuit based on a level of the inputted extraction-signal. The signal extraction unit includes a signal removing filter and a subtraction circuit. The filter removes a signal equal in frequency to the inspection-signal and passes low-frequency noises lower in frequency than the inspection-signal. The subtraction circuit outputs a differential signal, as the extraction-signal, between a signal having passed through the filter and a signal not having passed through the filter.

System for testing an electronic circuit comprising a digital to analog converter and corresponding method and computer program product

A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) includes a switching network and built-in-self-test (BIST) circuitry. The DAC, in operation, generates analog output signals in response to input codes of a set of input codes of the DAC. The BIST circuitry sequentially applies codes of a determined subset of codes of the set of input codes to test the plurality of switches. The determined subset of codes has fewer codes than the set of input codes. The BIST circuitry detects failures of switches of the plurality of switches based on responses of the DAC to the applied codes. In response to detecting a failure of a switch, the BIST generates a signal indicating a failure of the switching network.
