Test system and method for analog-to-digital converter
Abstract:
Test system and method for analog-to-digital converter (ADC) based on a loopback architecture are provided to test an M-bit ADC. In the invention, an N-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) converts a digital input to a basic test signal, a segmentation circuit scales the basic test signal and superposes it with segmentation DC levels for providing corresponding segmented test signals, such that the ADC converts the segmented test signals to reflect result of testing. With the invention, practical loopback architecture of low-cost can be adopted for testing.
