ADC Histogram Test by Triangular Small-Waves 0

چکیده
A histogram-based method for quasi-static test of analog-to-digital converters has been proposed for standardization aims. The test exploits the use of small-amplitude triangular waves. Different signal offset values are used to fully stimulate the converter input range. The reduced amplitude and slope of the input triangular wave with respect to the converter range and slew rate, respectively, lead to quasi-static test conditions. The test allows (i) linearity constraints of function generators to be relaxed, and (ii) experimental burden to be reduced. In this paper, after a brief recalling of the test procedure, analytical relations for designing an efficient test are provided. Numerical and experimental results of a comparative analysis with the IEEE 1057-standard static test highlight its better performance.

Uncertainty Analysis of the Adc Histogram Test Using Triangular Stimulus Signals
This paper addresses the uncertainty of the estimates of ADC testing obtained with the Histogram Method when a triangular stimulus is used. Expressions are presented for the computation of the standard deviation of the transition voltages and code bin widths. These can be used for the Ramp Vernier Test which is a novel test method which will be included in the new version of the IEEE 1057 stand...
متن کاملNew Trends in Analog to Digital Converters Testing
In this paper, new state of the art analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) testing techniques both static and dynamic are revised and discussed. Regarding the static test it is shown that a new technique based on the use of small triangular waves superimposed with a variable offset value as input signal, reduces dramatically the test duration. This histogram based technique can be implemented by u...
متن کاملAnalog-to-digital converter testing - new proposals
New static and dynamic analog-to-digital converter (ADC) testing techniques are revised and discussed. A new test method based on the Histogram Method but using small-amplitude triangular waves with a variable offset is shown to have several advantages over the traditional static test, namely a dramatic reduction in test duration even for highresolution ADCs. The use of Gaussian noise to stimul...
متن کاملApparent diffusion coefficient histogram analysis stratifies progression-free survival in newly diagnosed bevacizumab-treated glioblastoma.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Currently it is difficult to predict tumor response to anti-angiogenic therapy in individual patients. Our aim was to determine if ADC histogram analysis can stratify progression-free and overall survival in patients with newly diagnosed GBM treated "up-front" (ie, before tumor recurrence) with bevacizumab. MATERIALS AND METHODS Up-front bevacizumab-treated and control ...

This paper deals with some error effects caused by additive noise at analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs) testing based on the histogram method and the exponential shape of input testing stimulus. The histogram method with the exponential stimulus has been an alternative test method for ADC that was developed by the authors of this paper. Here, the theoretical analysis of some errors in estima...
