DYNAMIC CHARACTERIZATION OF A/D CONVERTERS BY RAMP TESTING SIGNALS

• 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.
