The Research on the Signal Generation Method and Digital Pre-Processing Based on Time-Interleaved Digital-to-Analog Converter for Analog-to-Digital Converter Testing

Abstract

In the high-resolution analog circuit, the performance of chips is an important part. The performance of the chips needs to be determined by testing. According to the test requirements, stimulus signal with better quality and performance is necessary. The main research direction is how to generate high-resolution and high-speed analog signal when there is no suitable high-resolution and high-speed digital-to-analog converter (DAC) chip available. In this paper, we take the high-resolution analog-to-digital converter (ADC) chips test as an example; this article uses high-resolution DAC chips and multiplexers to generate high-resolution high-speed signals that can be used for testing high-resolution ADC chips based on the principle of time-alternating sampling. This article explains its method, analyzes its error and proposes a digital pre-processing method to reduce the error. Finally, the actual circuit is designed, and the method is verified on the circuit. The test results prove the effectiveness of this method for generating high-resolution ADC test signals.

Assessing the Operation System of Fire Alarm Systems for Detection Line and Circuit Devices with Various Damage Intensities

“…The first type is caused by errors of operators supervising the FAS operation system. The second depends on environmental parameters, as well as the external and internal factors independent of the system operator-e.g., interference, decay, dip or surges within power supply lines [88,89].…”

Special Issue on Intelligent Diagnostic and Prognostic Methods for Electronic Systems and Mechanical Systems

“…Liu, Z. et al [5] used a square wave as the excitation of the circuit under test, then processed the raw data using improved empirical wavelet variations, and imputed it to a multi-input deep residual network to achieve the fault diagnosis of analog circuits. Wang, L. et al [6] proposed a method to generate high-resolution and high-speed test signals without a suitable high-resolution DAC. This signal can be used as an excitation signal for fault diagnosis circuits.…”
