Testing of high-speed DACs using PRBS generation with "Alternate-Bit-Tapping"

چکیده
Testing of high-speed Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) is a challenging task, as it requires large number of high-speed synchronized input signals with specific test patterns. To overcome this problem, we propose use of PRBS signals with an “Alternate-Bit-Tapping” technique and eye-diagram measurement as a solution to efficiently generate the testvectors and test the DACs. This approach covers all levels and transitions necessary for testing the dynamic behavior of the DAC completely, in minimum possible time. Circuit level simulations are used to verify its usefulness in testing a 4-bit 20-GS/s currentsteering DAC.

متن کاملCritical path analysis of two-channel interleaved digital MASH ΔΣ modulators
Implementation of wireless wideband transmitters using ∆Σ DACs requires very high speed modulators. Digital MASH ∆Σ modulators are good candidates for speed enhancement using interleaving because they require only adders and can be cascaded. This paper presents an analysis of the integrator critical path of two-channel interleaved ∆Σ modulators. The bottlenecks for a high-speed operation are id...
