2 results about "Differential nonlinearity" patented technology

Differential nonlinearity (acronym DNL) is a term describing the deviation between two analog values corresponding to adjacent input digital values. It is an important specification for measuring error in a digital-to-analog converter (DAC); the accuracy of a DAC is mainly determined by this specification. Ideally, any two adjacent digital codes correspond to output analog voltages that are exactly one Least Significant Bit (LSB) apart. Differential non-linearity is a measure of the worst case deviation from the ideal 1 LSB step. For example, a DAC with a 1.5 LSB output change for a 1 LSB digital code change exhibits 1⁄2 LSB differential non-linearity. Differential non-linearity may be expressed in fractional bits or as a percentage of full scale. A differential non-linearity greater than 1 LSB may lead to a non-monotonic transfer function in a DAC. It is also known as a missing code.

Analog-to-digital converter testing system and method

The application relates to an analog-to-digital converter testing system and method. A host computer sends a voltage output instruction to a power supply; when a first indication signal sent by the power supply is received, a sampling start instruction is sent to a device under test, and the first indication signal indicates that the output voltage of the power supply is stable. When it is determined that the device under test is in a sampling completion state, the host computer receives a code value obtained by sampling the output voltage by the device under test in response to the sampling start instruction; based on the code value, a preset analysis algorithm is used to generate a differential nonlinearity parameter and an integral nonlinearity error parameter, and performance detection of the device under test is completed. The application can realize that the device under test samples the established stable output voltage, reduces the code value jump problem when the device under test samples the unstable output voltage, and improves the test precision.
