摘要
As Analog to Digital Converters continue to improve in resolution, their linearity testing was become increasingly challenging in terms of test accuracy and test time. In this paper we present a technique for estimation the linearity metrics of an ADC that is optimal in terms of expected r.m.s error in INL/DNL estimates, for a given test time. Experimental results measured on an ADC from industry to validate the effectiveness of the technique are presented.
