Realiable ADC testing using LabVIEW

Vilmos Pálfi, István Kollár
Abstract:
The sinewave histogram test is a commonly used method to characterize nonlinear behavior of A/D converters. Accurate test results require wise choice of the test settings and signal parameters. However, standard methods do not support the recognition of bad parameter settings. In addition, those may provide inaccurate results even when the signal settings are optimal for the histogram test. This paper presents a software which helps handling above problems and deficiencies to guarantee the quality of the test results.
