Abstract
In this paper, the application of the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithm has been used for testing selected specification
parameters of voltage-controlled oscillator. Today, mixed electronic circuits specification time is an issue. An analog part of Phase Locked Loopis a voltage-controlled oscillator, which is very sensitive to variation of the
technology process. Fault model for the integrated circuit voltage control oscillator (VCO) in ring topology is introduced and the before test stage
classificatory is designed. In order to reduce testing time and keep the specification accuracy (approximation) on the high level, an artificial
neural network has been applied. The features selection process and output coding for specification parameters are described.
A number of different ANN have been designed and then compared with real specification of the VCO. The results obtained gives response in short
time with high enough accuracy.
