Self-testing most analog and sensing hardware is next to impossible in a circuit. Even testing them via specially designed test points can just not be possible at times.

A complex microchip can be easily caught. Simple one... Not necessarily.

would you be able to explain why? Is there some minimum chip complexity that we should just accept in order to do such testing?
