چکیده
Although integral and differential nonlinearity may not be the most important parameters for high-speed, high dynamic performance data converters, they gain significance when it comes to high-resolution imaging applications. The following application note serves as a refresher course for their definitions and details two different, yet commonly used techniques to measure INL and DNL in high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs).

متن کاملSystematic design and modelling of high-resolution, high-speed pipeline ADCs
This paper describes a suitable mathematical model for the design of high-speed, high-resolution pipeline ADCs. The effect of capacitor mismatch and finite amplifier bandwidth and gain on the converter INL and DNL are accurately modelled. On the basis of this model a design optimisation method is provided. 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
متن کاملPerformance Testing of Logarithmic Analog- To-digital Converters
Abstract This paper describes test procedures to characterize the behavior of logarithmic analog-to-digital converters. Logarithmic A/D converters are usually characterized in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) or in deviation of the ideal characteristic in dB. There are a lack of test methods definition in the literature, as can be observed in the IEEE standard 1241 for these type of convert...
متن کاملCumulative Differential Nonlinearity Testing of ADCs
This paper proposes a cumulative DNL (CDNL) test methodology for the BIST of ADCs. It analyzes the histogram of the DNL of a predetermined k LSBs distance to determine the DNL and gain error. The advantage of this method over others is that the numbers of required code bins and required samples are significantly reduced. The simulation and measurements of a 12-bit ADC show that the proposed CDN...
متن کاملA capacitance-ratio quantification design for linearity test in differential top-plate sampling sar ADCS
Successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are widely used due to their low power consumption and area cost. However, testing SAR ADCs on an embedded chip is costly. This paper proposes a capacitance-ratio quantification design for the linearity test of differential top-plate sampling SAR ADCs. First, the pattern generator controls the switches connected to the ...
