A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BOUNCING FAILURE ANALYSIS

摘要

A method for analyzing fault modes (base elements of 102, 104 and 106) that may cause a fault (101). Multi-point analysis (indicated by the ?miquely configured AND and OR gates of the figure) may be performed to identify multi-point fault modes that contribute to causing the fault. The method provides for easy and systematic switching from a top-down to bottom-up approach of analysis to ensure accurate and easy multi-point analysis of the multi-point fault nodes.
