Based on possible defects on the layout of a practical non-ideal switch, fault model and test generation of current copiers, basic building block of switched-current circuits, are presented in this study, where we consider two types of switches, current switches and voltage switches, which have been commonly used in both switched-current circuits and switched-capacitor circuits. Both catastrophic and parametric faults of transistors used as switches are considered. Test sequences are proposed to achieve full testability of both current copiers and switched-current circuits.
