Abstract:An adaptive digital built-in self-test (BIST) for the static characterisation of analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs) has been developed in this work. The proposed technique performs a blind and accurate estimation of the Integral NonLinearity (INL) of the ADC under test (ADCUT) without affecting to the normal converter operation, using any test stimuli or replicated hardware. The practical implementation of the BIST technique implies no modifications on the analogue section of the ADCUT and uses a very simpl… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
