Evaluation of Frequency Dependency of Effective Number of Bits by Means of Stochastic Testing Signal
نویسندگان
چکیده
The article describes a new method of Analog-toDigital Converters testing that is suitable for testing of highresolution AD converters (e.g. Σ-∆ or dither-based) or on the contrary ultra high-speed AD converters. The method is based on the histogram test driven by stochastic signal with defined probability density function. By repeating of the test for different settings of band-pass filter that is inserted to the input testing signal path it is possible to obtain an estimation of frequency dependency of effective number of bits. This important information was obtainable by deterministic test only. Practical demonstration confirmed the usability of the method.

متن کاملTest Power Reduction by Simultaneous Don’t Care Filling and Ordering of Test Patterns Considering Pattern Dependency
Estimating and minimizing the maximum power dissipation during testing is an important task in VLSI circuit realization since the power value affects the reliability of the circuits. Therefore during testing a methodology should be adopted to minimize power consumption. Test patterns generated with –D 1 option of ATALANTA contains don’t care bits (x bits). By suitable filling of don’t cares can...
متن کاملDigital Binary Phase-shift Keyed Signal Detector
We have developed the effective algorithm for detecting digital binary phase-shift keyed signals. This algorithm requires a small number of arithmetic operations over the signal period. It can be relatively easy implemented based on the modern programmable logic devices. It also provides high interference immunity by identifying signal presence when signal-to-noise ratio is much less that its w...
متن کاملThe Application Wavelet Transform Algorithm in Testing Adc Effective Number of Bits
In evaluating Analog to Digital Convertors, many parameters are checked for performance and error rate. One of these parameters is the device Effective Number of Bits. In classical testing of Effective Number of Bits, testing is based on signal to noise components ratio (SNR), whose coefficients are driven via frequency domain (Fourier Transform) of ADC’s output signal. Such a technique is extr...
