DYNAMIC CHARACTERIZATION OF A/D CONVERTERS BY RAMP TESTING SIGNALS

Daniel Belega, Dominique Dallet
Abstract:
In this paper a method for evaluation the dynamic performances of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) by ramp testing signals is proposed. This method permits the estimation with high accuracy of ones of the most important dynamic parameters of an ADC – signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SINAD) and effective number of bits (ENOB). Carried out simulations confirm that the proposed method leads to accurate results.
Keywords:
ramp signals, modulo time-plot, estimation of the dynamic parameters SINAD and ENOB of an ADC
