Experimental Investigation on DAC Glitch Measurement
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper is aimed at experimentally analyzing the different DAC glitch definitions and measurement methods proposed in literature and adopted by manufacturers. Unfortunately, in fact, there is no universally accepted and unambiguous definition of a glitch. Therefore, the presented research work can give contributions and ideas for discussions focused to solve this problem and develop a new standard dealing with DAC terminology and test methods. An experimental analysis has been carried out and the obtained results have been critically analyzed to provide possible indications for the definition of a univocal and reproducible glitch measurement method.

متن کاملA low-glitch binary-weighted DAC with delay compensation scheme
This paper presents a high-speed, low-glitch, and low-power design for a 10-bit binary-weighted currentsteering digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Instead of using large input buffers to drive a lot of current switches and re-timing latches, the proposed design uses variabledelay buffers with a compact layout to compensate for the delay difference among different bits, and to reduce glitch ener...
