title = "An on-chip solution for static adc test and measurement",
abstract = "This paper presents a solution for implementing low-cost ADC BIST into a System-on-Chip design. The solution is based on generating a programmable ramp as a test signal into the ADC and measuring the linear parameters using the histogram based test. An original approach for accurately measuring the Hits-per-Code as the ramp traverses the ADC transfer curve is presented. In particular, it is shown that code transitions or code flicker noise have an impact on the overall accuracy. This test procedure permits a ramp generator implementation and test engine design that is predominantly a digital solution. Results demonstrate lower silicon area overheads and lower test time capability.",
