BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of fault diagnosis of analog circuits and in particular to a vector-valued regularized kernel function approximation (VVRKFA)-based fault diagnosis method for an analog circuit.

2. Description of Related Art

With the development of integrated circuit technology, large-scale digital-analog hybrid integrated circuits are widely used in the fields of consumer electronics, industrial control and aerospace. Once they fail, it will affect the performance and functionality of devices, and even lead to catastrophic consequences. According to the data, although the analog part only accounts for 5% of an integrated circuit chip, its fault diagnosis and testing cost accounts for 95% of the total cost. Therefore, it is extremely necessary to carry out research on fault diagnosis and testing techniques of analog circuits.

At the present stage, many scholars have used the Artificial Neural Network (ANN), a Support Vector Machine (SVM) and the like to diagnose faults of analog circuits. However, the ANN method has problems such as slow learning speed and high possibility of falling into local optimal solution and overtraining, and is difficult to get adapted to the real-time requirements of diagnosis. Based on the principle of minimum structural risk, the SVM can solve small samples and nonlinear problems in classification, but it is difficult to achieve the optimal classification ability when faced with unbalanced data sets and large samples.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 1, the invention comprises four steps: Step 1, a time domain response signal of a tested analog circuit is extracted. Step 2, the signal is subjected to 3-layer db10 wavelet packet decomposition, nodes in a third layer are extracted, and the energy of 8 nodes in total is used as the original sample feature data. The original sample feature data is averagely divided into two parts: a training sample set and a test sample set. Step 3, the parameters of the VVRKFA mathematical model are optimized by using the QPSO algorithm on the basis of the training sample set, and a VVRKFA-based fault diagnosis model is constructed. Step 4, the test sample set is input into the constructed VVRKFA-based fault diagnosis model to identify a circuit fault class.

In the Step 1, the time domain response signal of the tested analog circuit is obtained, and an input end is excited by a sinusoidal signal having an amplitude of 5V and a frequency of 100 Hz, and the output end samples a voltage signal.

In the Step 2, the energy of each node is calculated as follows:

In the wavelet packet analysis, the signal is projected onto the space formed by a group of mutually orthogonal wavelet basis functions; the signal is decomposed into two parts: a high frequency part and a low frequency part, and the low-frequency and high-frequency parts are simultaneously decomposed in the next layer of decomposition. The wavelet packet analysis is a more elaborate analysis method.

d_jⁿ+(k)=2[Σ_τh(k−2τ)d_j+1²ⁿ⁺ⁿ(k)+Σ_τg(k−2τ)d_j+1²ⁿ(k)] indicates a k-th coefficient corresponding to the node (j, n) after wavelet packet decomposition, the node (j, n) represents a n-th frequency band of a j-th layer, and t is a translation parameter.

Then, the energy value of the wavelet packet node is calculated as follows:E_i=Σ_k=1^N|d_jⁿ(k)|²;i=1,2, . . . ,2^j;where, N is the length of a i-th frequency band; j is the number of wavelet decomposition layers; k is a sequence point of each frequency band; d_jⁿ(k) is a k-th wavelet decomposition coefficient of the i-th frequency band of the j-th layer.
